Tigers Trade Urged for $33.6 Million 'Luxury Item' Shortstop by MLB Insider

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Detroit Tigers, despite dropping three of their last six games, remain at the top of the American League Central — as well as all of MLB — with a 42-24 record. Led by a pitching staff with the fourth-lowest ERA (3.15) and an offense that has pushed across the fourth-most runs (325) in baseball, the surprising Tigers would seem to have no urgency to make moves at the trade deadline, or before. But that doesn't mean they should stand pat. That's why ESPN's top baseball insider, Jeff Passan, says Detroit should acquire Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette — if only as a "luxury item." MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - APRIL 11: Manager A.J. Hinch #14 of the Detroit Tigers looks on after making a pitching change against the Minnesota Twins in the fifth inning at Target Field on April 11, 2025... MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - APRIL 11: Manager A.J. Hinch #14 of the Detroit Tigers looks on after making a pitching change against the Minnesota Twins in the fifth inning at Target Field on April 11, 2025 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Tigers defeated the Twins 7-6. MoreBichette has been the subject of frequent trade talk all season, mainly because the 27-year-old son of four-time All-Star Dante Bichette — who played for five teams in a 14-year MLB career — is in the final season of a three-year, $33.6 million contract extension with the Blue Jays, the team that made him a second-round draft pick in 2016. The younger Bichette signed the extension before the 2023 season, allowing him to avoid arbitration with the Blue Jays — but still letting him become a free agent after this season. "Bichette's gap-to-gap power would play well at Comerica Park and lengthen a lineup that has scored more runs than anticipated," Passan wrote in his roundup of anticipated trade deadline deals. More MLB: Blue Jays Reportedly Expected to Refuse Bo Bichette Trade, Change His Position "After a homerless April, Bichette whacked seven home runs in May and slugged better than .500," Passan continued. "The Tigers don't need much. With their prospect depth, though, they can afford a luxury item." The Blue Jays would be likely to insist on an impressive return of prospect assets for Bichette, but the fact that the shortstop would be a "rental" for the remainder of the season perhaps brings his price down. Detroit's No. 2 overall prospect is also a middle infielder. But 20-year-old Kevin McGonicle is estimated by MLB Pipeline to be two more seasons away from big-league readiness. But McGonicle plus a major league ready pitcher such as No. 10 prospect Troy Melton — who has posted a 3.30 ERA in 43 2/3 innings for the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens this year — may be enough to land the two-time All-Star Bichette.

Athletics beat Orioles 5-1 to win their first series in more than a month

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Max Muncy homered and Jacob Wilson and Tyler Soderstrom each had two hits and an RBI as the Athletics beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-1 on Sunday to win their first series in more than a month. Sean Newcomb (1-4) struck out three in three scoreless innings in relief of starter Jacob Lopez for the win. Grant Holman pitched a scoreless eighth and Mason Miller tossed a 1-2-3 ninth to end it. The A's last won a series May 2-4 when they took two of three against Miami. They hadn't won a series at home since they won two of three against the Chicago White Sox from April 25-27. The Athletics took a 1-0 lead off Orioles starter Tomoyuki Sugano in the first inning after Lawrence Butler led off with a base hit before scoring on Soderstrom's two-out single. A throwing error by catcher Jhonny Pereda on a pickoff attempt led to an unearned run off Lopez as the Orioles tied it in the second. Pereda atoned for the errant throw with a go-ahead RBI double in the Athletics' second. Butler drove in a run on a fielder's choice before Wilson singled to make it 4-1. Muncy led off the eighth against Bryan Baker with his third homer for the final run. Lopez allowed four hits in four innings and struck out five before giving way to Newcomb. Sugano (5-4) allowed four runs — three earned — and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings. Scott Blewett, reacquired by Baltimore on Friday from Atlanta, followed and retired all five batters he faced. The Orioles were coming off a three-game sweep of the Mariners in Seattle. Key moment Pereda's RBI double recaptured the momentum and gave the A's the lead for good. Key stat Wilson finished 2 for 4 and has multiple hits in five straight games and seven overall while going 20 for 40 during a nine-game hitting streak. The rookie shortstop raised his batting average to .372 and trails only the Yankees' Aaron Judge, who began the day hitting .390. Up next The Athletics will play three against the Los Angeles Angels beginning Monday. Neither team announced a starter. The Orioles head home for six games and hadn't announced a starter for the first of three against the Tigers beginning Tuesday. Detroit will start RHP Sawyer Gipson-Long (0-0, 7.36). ___ AP MLB:
