DETROIT -- The Tigers have done a fairly good job tuning out trade talk as the anticipation of Monday's non-waiver Trade Deadline approaches. With that Deadline now three days away, however, the anticipation is becoming tougher for them to ignore.
The lineup card posted in the Tigers' clubhouse Friday did not have Jose Iglesias at his usual spot at shortstop. He was listed on the bench. Given recent trade rumors, including Thursday's tweet from ESPN's Buster Olney that "there is some sentiment in the market" that Iglesias will be moved, the speculation raced.
Once the clubhouse opened, Iglesias was surprised to find a crowd around his locker.
