The Tigers look back to form, finally. After an absymal run of play where the team lost 12 of 13 games around the All-Star Break, the team, and its bats, have come alive. Following a huge win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, the Tigers have picked up a couple of sizeable wins to start off this series with the Diamondbacks.

Not sure which team Eugenio Suárez will be playing for, but the Tigers host the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Trade rumors have Arizona’s Suárez heading to Detroit. Maybe during the seventh inning stretch.

The Tigers made a move to reinforce the rotation Monday, acquiring Chris Paddack from Minnesota after Reese Olson landed on the 60-day IL. But with 13 losses in their last 16 games, Detroit’s work at the deadline isn’t done. The biggest need remains the bullpen.

The Detroit Tigers acquired starting pitcher Chris Paddack in a trade with the Minnesota Twins on Monday. The Tigers also received right-hander Randy Dobnak in the deal, with catching/first-base prospect Enrique Jimenez going to the Twins.

For nearly a decade, the Detroit Tigers have sent their best vets away at the MLB trade deadline. So how has that worked out recently?
