Detroit — In barely a week, in barely a blink, the Tigers have opened all sorts of possibilities. They’re hitting and competing fiercely right now, as if sniffing the sizzling stakes.
This is the Tigers at their best, with their stars at their best, and one debate has died peacefully. Any notion of selling assets is gone, if it ever existed. With back-to-back sweeps against good opponents, including an 11-0 mashing of the Astros Sunday, the Tigers unofficially, logically, are in buy mode — with a twist.
They’ll dutifully hunt for a starting pitcher and maybe a reliever before Monday’s trade deadline.
