Remember last winter, when every other day was punctuated by another rumor that Michael Fulmer was going to be traded to a contender (usually the New York Yankees)? Well, it’s that time again. The Detroit Tigers are “prepared to engage in trade discussions” about their staff ace, according to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi.
The interest from other teams makes sense. Fulmer is young, under team control through the 2022 season, and really good at baseball. He had a 2.80 ERA in 35 1⁄3 innings entering Monday’s start against the Texas Rangers, and this includes a rough start against the Cleveland Indians back in April.
