Tigers closer Joe Jimenez came into the season ready to build off a strong September. Instead, his fastball has let him down, leading him on a downward spiral to start the year.

Spencer Turnbull could be the Detroit Tigers’ last big trade chip. The concept of trading Spencer Turnbull isn’t particularly new.
