The Detroit Tigers had a 4-2 record this week, sweeping the Arizona Diamondbacks and dropping a series to the Philadelphia Phillies — but the biggest news came off the field: Reese Olson is out for the regular season (and possibly the postseason) with a shoulder injury. Evan Petzold — joined by "Locked On Tigers" host Scott Bentley — take a deep dive into the trade deadline: Did Scott Harris make the right call by prioritizing quantity over quality? And is he making a mistake by not capitalizing on the Tarik Skubal window?
Washington Nationals beat writer Andrew Golden, who works for the Washington Post, joins "Days of Roar" to introduce Tigers fans to new reliever Kyle Finnegan, whom the Tigers acquired from the Nationals at the trade deadline. After talking to Golden, Petzold and Bentley debate: Who gets the ball in the biggest moment — Finnegan, Will Vest or Tommy Kahnle? We also discuss Reese Olson's injury history and Troy Melton's move to the bullpen.
