Tigers to start Matthew Boyd on Tuesday, send Daniel Norris on rehab assignment in Toledo

Justin Verlander has been mentioned in trade talks, and it’s possible that market moons and stars will align and the future Hall of Famer switches teams. But any Verlander deal would be incredibly complicated for the Tigers to pull off in the short time frame that remains before the July 31 trade deadline, because of his salary, his stature within Detroit history and his ability to veto any proposed deal.

But there are players whose trades are considered imminent by baseball officials. Here are the top players who will be dealt over the next 14 days.

J.D. Martinez, Detroit Tigers
The position-player market is saturated, generally, and in the hours leading up to the trade deadline, some general managers expect a purge of salary. But Martinez has more value than others, because he is a strong middle-of-the-order hitter who is having a good year, batting over .300 with power. "You’d have to live with his defense to take him on," said one evaluator, "but his offense more than offsets that." And this will interest a lot of teams: Martinez has destroyed left-handed pitchers, carrying a .500 average with damage into Sunday’s game -- 18 hits in 36 at-bats, including four doubles, one triple, six homers, six walks and six strikeouts. He would present an incredible weapon for the Los Angeles Dodgers, whose struggles against lefties last year are well-documented. Other teams that are possible: Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies.

Justin Wilson, Detroit Tigers
The left-hander isn’t a classic left-hander, in that he doesn’t dominate left-handed hitters with a great breaking ball. But he is outstanding against right-handed hitters, and he can serve in multiple roles. His value is so high right now that officials think Detroit will capitalize on his standing in the market and move him. Just about every contender could use him in one form or another.

K-Rod blew 6 saves, took 5 losses over a 2.5 month span. No "closer" is perfect, but flip script on those 5 - Tigers are 1 game back of CLE.

Yep, the biggest issue this year was the BP. K-Rod is not the only pitcher that blew games.

Tigers next 10 games are 7 vs the Royals and 3 vs the Twins.

They have a good shot at racking up some more wins. After those ten games is a series vs Houston and then the Yankees.

Al Alburquerque, Neftali Feliz and Joakim Soria are in the Royals bullpen as the Tigers come to town.

Two executives with teams that have spoken with Detroit said #Tigers might be challenged to move veterans unless they drop the asking price.

No reason to drop the price yet, I'd actually increase it. Still have two weeks

Victor did a great job holding off.

Hmm I agree with Mahtook ball looked inside but it was close.

by aualum06 2017-07-17, 20:28

Terrible strike three call on Mahtook

by **steveschneider** 2017-07-17, 20:29

Also another situation where a team is showing they do not fear pitching to Miggy. I hope he heals up and gets his swing back.

by aualum06 2017-07-17, 20:30

Then Zimmerman throws his first pitch right down the middle and ball one

by aualum06 2017-07-17, 20:38

Strike zone is awful both ways

by **steveschneider** 2017-07-17, 20:39

This ump is off tonight.

by aualum06 2017-07-17, 20:40

Kinsler killing it

by **steveschneider** 2017-07-17, 20:41

Kinsler is on fire tonight!!!

by aualum06 2017-07-17, 20:42

And Nick killed that

by **steveschneider** 2017-07-17, 20:43

I thought that was a pop fly. Wow!!

by **steveschneider** 2017-07-17, 20:44

Also, Kaufman is as quiet as a library. Fans are lifeless tonight.

by **steveschneider** 2017-07-17, 21:14

Big question remaining is how deep into the game can Zimmerman go without giving up a lot of runs.

I'd take two more innings

Did they trade JD already?

Must be in the works. Damn.

Apparently the Nationals pulled Robles from minor league game, not sure why the Nat's would aquire JD though

Makes sense. If there was a trade we'd have word of it by now.

by Guest 2017-07-17, 22:42

Need 2-3 more runs. Took the Bengals and the over 10.

Zimmerman is screwing this up.

I'm betting the nats are after bullpen arms. Maybe get Robles for J Wilson
