Tigers trade pitch replaces Jackson Jobe with $77 million ace

Yahoo4 days ago
The Detroit Tigers realistically have a sound enough farm system to make any trade around the deadline.
Heading into the July 31 trade deadline, the Tigers should feel confident in improving their roster if the ownership and front office are willing to take on bigger contracts.

Ultimately, the Tigers could find a way to be creative and land cheaper talent, but if they have the chance to add a star who is on a big deal, they should consider it.
When proposing ideas for the top trade candidates on the market, Sportsnaut proposed one to land Mitch Keller, who is on a five-year, $77 million deal.
'Starting pitching hasn't always been an area of need for the Detroit Tigers. Unfortunately, Jackson Jobe underwent Tommy John surgery in June, and Jack Flaherty's ERA sits at 5.40 over his last 14 starts. Given this club's aspirations and the fact that Jobe will miss most of next season, it might be wise to acquire another long-term starter. The Tigers absolutely have the depth and talent in their farm system to pull off a trade for Keller. If they are willing, Detroit could even expand the deal to include Pittsburgh's All-Star closer, David Bednar,' they wrote.

Keller was an All-Star during the 2023 campaign, a year in which he posted a 4.21 ERA. During this season, he's arguably been better than ever with his 3.58 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 119.0 innings.
His strikeout numbers aren't ideal, which is worrisome, but if he could be used as a third or fourth arm in the Tigers' rotation, they'd be in a good spot come October.

Treylon Burks being evaluated after injuring shoulder in practice

Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks said recently that he hopes to stay healthy so he can show what he's capable of doing on the field, but that plan has hit a snag. Head coach Brian Callahan told reporters on Saturday that Burks is being evaluated for a shoulder injury. Burks left the team's practice at Nissan Stadium after making a diving catch. Callahan said the team will update the wideout's condition when they have more information. Burks is returning from a torn ACL that limited him to five games last season. The 2022 first-round pick also missed 12 games over his first two NFL seasons, so the team has plenty of experience playing without him over the last three years. UPDATE 2:50 p.m. ET: NFL Media reports Burks fractured his collarbone.

Report: Treylon Burks fractured his collarbone

Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks injured his shoulder during Saturday's practice at Nissan Stadium and the initial report about his condition suggests he's going to miss time with the injury. NFL Media reports that Burks fractured his collarbone while making a catch during the workout. The wideout is still undergoing tests to determine the severity of the injury and establish a timeline for recovery, but the report says he is expected to miss the start of the regular season at the very least. It's an unfortunate and familiar predicament for Burks. The 2022 first-round pick missed 12 games over his first two seasons and he missed the final 12 games of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL. Burks has 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown when he has been healthy enough to play. Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, and Tyler Lockett are joined by fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in the Titans' receiving corps. The Burks injury could help undrafted rookie Xavier Restrepo's chances of sticking with college teammate Cam Ward through the cut to 53 players.
