Pittsburgh — It’s happened more than once, and it’s funny every time — in a gallows humor sort of way.
Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire will brush past Shane Greene, Nick Castellanos or Matthew Boyd in the clubhouse, or as they are getting on the bus, and he will say, “Are you still here?”
The trade deadline is 43 days away. Most likely, Greene, Castellanos and possibly Boyd will be wearing another uniform in August. Gardenhire, being in an utterly no-win situation, can only try to keep that reality from weighing on the rest of the clubhouse.
