Tigers trade pitch replaces Jackson Jobe with $77 million ace
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. Advertisement 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. MORE: Tigers urged to add starting pitching help after terrible Mariners series 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.

Expert picks & predictions for tonight's game between the Tigers and the Pirates 'Entering the All-Star break, Skenes had a 1.19 ERA in career wins compared to a 2.39 ERA in losses or non-decisions, so either way, he hasn't been the Buccos' problem since he arrived. This year alone, Skenes has allowed 27 runs over 20 starts and the Pirates have lost 11 of those 20 games! Pittsburgh's offense has scored the fewest runs in not just the NL, but all of baseball — even the Rockies and White Sox. For more context, the Phillies have scored 112 more runs than the Pirates in one less game. Both Skenes and Wheeler will be dominant in the second-half, I have no doubts, but Skenes could post a sub 2.00 ERA this season (was doing so through 19 starts), sub .200 OBA, and still have a losing record, which on surface level makes no sense. Despite how it looks or sounds, I think what Skenes is doing weighs more impressive, challenging, and deserving than what Wheeler is doing.' Please bet responsibly.
