The Detroit Tigers have multiple needs heading into the trade deadline, with the third base position being one of them. Not only would the Tigers love to find a third baseman, but there's a strong argument to be made that there's nothing more important for this team than finding a right-handed bat.

Don't expect the Detroit Tigers to be extremely involved in the race for the best player at the trade deadline.

A Twins utilityman might make more sense than Arizona's third baseman, plus notes on other deadline options and Cam Smith's recent slide.
