MLB Proposes Blockbuster Trades Involving Tigers, Pirates, Cardinals

As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Detroit Tigers are actively pursuing key acquisitions to bolster their roster and contend in the American League. Eugenio Suárez of the Arizona Diamondbacks remains Detroit's top target, with Gleyber Torres endorsing him as both a strong player and a positive clubhouse presence, despite the high trade cost. Additionally, MLB.com has proposed a blockbuster trade sending Pirates pitchers Mitch Keller and David Bednar to the Tigers in exchange for four promising prospects, a deal Detroit is reportedly considering. The Tigers are also linked to other All-Stars like Brandon Lowe and closer Ryan Helsley, who could strengthen their lineup and bullpen, respectively. Detroit’s recent acquisition of Chris Paddack and potential interest in a multi-player deal involving Suárez, Merrill Kelly, and Shelby Miller further indicate the team’s ambition to overcome recent struggles and aim for a postseason run. While the Tigers are protective of their top prospects, these proposed trades highlight their willingness to make significant moves to remain competitive.
