Surprise! The Detroit Tigers completed a trade during the production of this week’s episode, so Mark and Evan dive right into the trade of catcher Carson Kelly to the Texas Rangers for two minor leaguers. To open the show, Mark and Evan discuss the Tigers on the trade block ahead of Tuesday’s 6 p.m. trade deadline. We provide the latest information about Jack Flaherty, including the high asking prices, qualifying offer and back issues. Also, what are the chances of a Tarik Skubal trade? Mark examines mock trades created by Evan in which the Tigers trade Flaherty and Skubal to the Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Dodgers. To wrap up, we break down Riley Greene’s injury and other important trade talk.
