Martinez, Justin Upton, Justin Wilson and his son, Alex Avila. From those trades, one player remains with the Tigers: catcher Jake Rogers. On Thursday, the Tigers released
Detroit — More details have emerged about the nixed trade that would have sent Tigers’ lefty Eduardo Rodriguez to the Dodgers ahead of the trade deadline Tuesday.

Born in Venezuela. Raised in Miami. Crowned in Detroit. I’m borrowing from the fine folks that run the Detroit Tigers Twitter (X?) account, but those nine words best describe the recent weekend series played in South Florida. The Miguel Cabrera retirement tour has been mildly entertaining, and something of a relief if we’re for Tigers
PITTSBURGH — Eduardo Rodriguez, still a member of the Detroit Tigers, sat on the floor in the visitor’s clubhouse at PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, before Wednesday’s start.

It’s a tough look, no question.

Among the biggest stories of yesterday’s deadline was a trade that didn’t happen. The Tigers and Dodgers lined up an agreement that would’ve sent left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez to Los Angeles. The Dodgers were among the 10 teams on a no-trade list which Rodriguez had built into his free agent deal with Detroit, however. The hurler blocked

The Trade Deadline is past us, but that doesn’t mean rosters are fully set as the baseball world makes the turn into August and September.
