After a solid competitive stretch that peaked with a World Series appearance in 2012, the Detroit Tigers are now deep into a much needed rebuild. Having traded ace and franchise great Justin Verlander to the Houston Astros last August, the Tigers are open for business once more this deadline, and they have quite a few attractive pieces (though they all have their warts). These two teams seem almost destined to make a deal in the next few days.
Once an ace for the Washington Nationals, Jordan Zimmermann is enjoying a huge bounceback year in Detroit.
