So what do you do if the Tigers are still playing decent and within reasonable distance of 1st place in a terrible Central division in July? There are solid arguments for both selling and for going for it, and I'm not yet sure what I'd do.

Probably still sell. They have Skubal and Manning coming back.

Sell if you get something really really good for Eduardo, which you probably won't because he's just a rental.  But if not in contention, sell for whatever you can get because he can easily get more money somewhere else.

Rental pitchers sell better at the deadline than hitters.  I think they can get something decent.

This.  And there will be more pitching injuries (it’s inevitable).  Contenders will bid against each other.  I would expect at least a J-Hen and young starting pitcher prospect in return.

Imagine if they had a competent DH

Malloy is having a bit of a slump right now, 7 for 39 with 15 K's.  He needs to stay in Toledo, preferably all year.

I know how they feel. When a team is losing, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. Losing late really sucks, especially at home

Carpenter. Parker Meadows?

[Jim Cowan]

Parker Meadows didn't sustain his hot spring training and has an OPS in the low 700s.  What is the current state of Carpenter's injury?

[RandyMarsh]

Twins lose to the Guardians so we're now just 3 games back of 1st and only 2 in the loss column!

Hopefully back by the end of the month.
