Before this MLB season even began, all eyes in the baseball world were on the Detroit Tigers. Fast-forward to today, less than two weeks from the Aug. 3 trade deadline, and the baseball world is still waiting to see what Detroit will do with the sport's top trade chip. Detroit is playing for its present and possibly its future in the final days before the trade deadline. Through this hot stretch, pitching has carried the Tigers; over the past eight weeks, the Tigers rank first in MLB in team ERA. They have 10 games remaining before the trade deadline against likely sellers in the Kansas City Royals, Baltimore Orioles and Athletics.
