DETROIT -- Jose Iglesias has been through Trade Deadline speculation before, looking over his shoulder as the calendar turns. After all, he became a Tiger around Deadline time five years ago, traded by the Red Sox as Detroit searched for a fill-in for Jhonny Peralta.
There has been speculation that Iglesias might be on the move again for the past year and a half as the Tigers have looked to rebuild. More likely than not, this Trade Deadline will pass like the last, with Iglesias still in Detroit. But it won't be for a lack of performance from Iglesias, who has been quietly playing some of his best baseball over the past month.
