With the MLB trade deadline coming up quickly, there are few teams being mentioned in more rumors than the Detroit Tigers. Unfortunately, the Tigers do not seem to be in a position to buy. Even though manager AJ Hinch wants the front office to bring in talent rather than send it out, that doesn’t seem likely this season.
Instead, there are other senior players who may be on their way out of town. The most likely trade candidates are Mark Canha, Jack Flaherty, and Andrew Chafin. Tarik Skubal is also considered a trade candidate. According to a fresh trade concept suggested by Click on Detroit, the organization would send Canha and Chafin to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for Travis Honeyman and Cesar Prieto.
Prieto would be a very intriguing addition for the Tigers. In 85 games at the Triple-A level this season, he has hit .299/.345/.482 to go along with 12 home runs and 37 RBI. He could be a piece ready to make the leap to the majors right away. Honeyman would also be an intriguing piece, although he’s much farther away from being MLB ready. He has hit .342/.415/.493 this season in 20 minor league games to go along with three RBI. Both players could factor into the long-term picture for Detroit
While this is a hypothetical case, it makes sense for both parties involved. It will be interesting to watch what agreements Detroit makes after all is said and done. Expect to see a rush of transactions in the following days. The Tigers will undoubtedly be at the center of several of them.
