Detroit – The Tigers signed on for a six-month, 162-game journey. They aren’t and they can’t attack the season as if it’s going to end at the trade deadline at the end of July.
So, even though the frustrating 2-1 loss to the Diamondbacks Wednesday dropped them four games under .500 and the national media is beginning to speculate on which players the Tigers will sell at the deadline, the mission inside the clubhouse remains the same.
“Listen, I am going to come to the field tomorrow and try to win a game,” manager Brad Ausmus said.
