It was reported on Monday afternoon that the Tigers have checked in on Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas in potential trade negotiations. The MLB trade deadline is swiftly approaching and the Tigers are poised to make a number of high-stakes trades. It’s no secret that Scott Harris will be fielding offers for Eduardo Rodriguez, Michael Lorenzen, Jason Foley, Alex Lange, and they’re probably willing to listen to just about any proposal that doesn’t involve Riley Greene. The DBacks aren’t a team that many Tigers fans had pointed to as a potential destination for Detroit’s trade pieces, but Thomas is an intriguing subject in a potential deal.
