The Detroit Tigers snapped another six-game losing streak with a 10-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on July 27, thanks to a three-run home run by Gleyber Torres. The Tigers have lost 12 of their last 14 games, but they still have an eight-game lead in the American League Central. Tigers beat writer Evan Petzold evaluates the losing stretch on Days of Roar, joined by Chris Castellani of Chris and Company.
Petzold and Castellani discuss their panic meter, both for winning the AL Central and the World Series. They are also looking ahead to the trade deadline, scheduled for 6 p.m. July 31. What is the No. 1 priority for the Tigers? How can the Tigers acquire slugger Eugenio Suárez? How much help does the bullpen really need?
Bullpen expert Greg Jewett joins Days of Roar to dig deeper into the reliever market at the trade deadline. He believes the Tigers could acquire popular closers David Bednar (Pittsburgh Pirates), Ryan Helsley (St. Louis Cardinals) and Raisel Iglesias (Atlanta Braves), but he also mentions several under-the-radar trade candidates for the Tigers within the next few days.
