The Detroit Tigers have some clear needs to address ahead of the MLB trade deadline, with arguably their most pressing being in the bullpen. It was a unit that was lacking pitchers capable of generating swings and misses at a high rate,

Fortunately, according to Evan Petzold of The Detroit Free Press, the Tigers are expected to do just that. While it might not be one of the top relievers on the market, they are expected to bring in a reliever by the end of the month.

Even after losing 11 of their past 12 games, the Tigers still own a 60-45 record and hold a 7.5-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians entering Saturday’s game with the Toronto Blue Jays. The renaissance that began after last year’s trade deadline has made a lot of Detroit’s farmhands into household names and has opened a World Series window with ace Tarik Skubal leading the way.
