Time for another week of the Remaining Pieces series. This time we are moving to Part III of the series, which focuses on the American League Central, since today is Monday and Mondays are dedicated to all things American League.

For the last 6-8 weeks, there have plenty of names being mentioned as potential trade targets for teams especially those looking to bolster their starting rotation or add to their bullpen. Among a few of the names that have been mentioned in the starting pitching market are: J.A. Happ, Cole Hamels, Lance Lynn, and the far-fetched Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard. Along with those individuals, there has also been murmurs about the Detroit Tigers potentially being open to trading Michael Fulmer.  By: Chris Larson
As expected heading into this season, the Detroit Tigers currently have a record under 500 (30-35) in baseball's weakest division. Even with that poor record, given the weakness of the AL Central, the Tigers are currently in second place and 5 games back from first with a -26 run differential. |
