Prior to the distraction provided by today’s trade with the Oakland Athletics — check the details here if you’re behind — the Tigers fanbase was arguably in its darkest place all season on Monday. The team was shut out for the second time in three games on Sunday, and scored just one run in their weekend series against the A’s. As a team, they are now hitting worse than the 2003 Tigers.
It can’t last, though, right? Just about every Tigers hitter is slumping at the moment, save for Jose Iglesias and Jim Adduci.
