Baseball's Deadline Day - Detroit

Written by Jeff Hatline

Tuesday, 31 July 2007

It's deadline day in baseball and if the Tigers don't make a move by 4:00 P.M today, we're going to be suffering through a lot more blown saves and other impending disasters when the bullpen door opens in left field. Everyone in Detroit knows that the biggest problem with the team right now is the relief pitching. With Joel Zumaya and Fernando Rodney still out, relief duties have been left to different combinations of Jason Grilli, Chad Durbin, Bobby Seay and whoever else they can scrape off the bench. And, with the Gambler going back to the DL , the starting pitching isn't as solid of a situation that it was last week either. Let's hope Tata can keep filling in. At any rate, current news has the Tigers talking with Pittsburgh about a backup utility infielder... way to address the problems guys! We'll keep you updated on this and all the other deadline day news.

Update: There are about 45 minutes left before the trade deadline and the hottest rumor out there is Eric Gagne to the Red Sox after they apparently have given up on getting Dye from the White Sox . This is good news for the Nation, even though Dye was much more needed than another relief pitcher. Gagne coming to town still won't trump the Celtics news though now that the Garnett deal is official.
