DETROIT -- The Tigers' trade watch is expected to go down to the final hours before Monday's non-waiver Trade Deadline. It is not expected to include many of the big names that have been speculated on Detroit's roster over the last several weeks.
The Tigers' starting lineup Sunday did not have Ian Kinsler or Alex Avila in it, but they were getting days off, not farewell hugs. Justin Verlander made his start Sunday as scheduled, the latest sign he's likely staying put, and Justin Wilson was on watch for a ninth-inning lead rather than a phone call.
