| 7/10/25 | Analysis: Should Tigers prioritize swing-and-miss reliever over starter at trade deadline?. The question is going to be asked a lot in these next few weeks leading up to the July 31 trade deadline: Do the Tigers need more pitching? What the Tigers need to assess is how badly they need it, how vital it is to their pursuit of the American League pennant and their first World Series appearance since 2012, and how much are they willing to pay for it. On the reliever front, the need is real and you hope they are pounding on the Pirates' door for right-hander David Bednar. With his 97-mph four-seamer, curveball and splitter, his 35% strikeout rate and 30% whiff rate would be a massive addition to Will Vest and Tommy Kahnle in the back end of the Tigers' bullpen.
