Detroit Tigers: Why hasn’t Shane Greene been traded?

The Detroit Tigers have traded away several veterans since the start of last season. Surprisingly, only Ian Kinsler was added to that list this offseason.

Despite rumors and analysis of teams who might be interested, and players Detroit could potentially get in return, Shane Greene remains a Tiger.

2017 was the first season the Tigers exclusively used Greene as a reliever. The righty responded with his best season as a big leaguer.

In 71 appearances, Greene posted a 2.66 ERA in 67.2 innings, and earned nine saves after taking over the closer role.
