Meet your new number-three starter: Edwin Jackson. Or maybe he’s number two. Who knows? All we do know is that the Tigers made the most curious trade since…since…Dickie Noles-for-Dickie Noles?
While the Mets, Mariners and Indians were swingin’ a 12-player trade (with J.J. Putz as the centerpiece) the Tigers were not zeroing in on a closer, [...]

ESPN.com’s trip through each MLB team’s roster continued today with write Jonah Keri’s lens focused on the American League Central and the Tigers.
If you’re looking for a positive outlook to end your week, look elsewhere. Here’s a taste:
Aside from a younger, more athletic band of glove men, the Tigers need about a half-dozen new pitchers. [...]

I’m not convinced that neither Nate Robertson (one of my favorites) nor Dontrelle Willis will be a long-term solution for the Tigers. Or a short-term one.

Swept by the Royals? Again!?
Those words are enough to send me into a frothy rage.
On Wednesday night it was the dreadful Nate Robertson’s turn to lie down for the [...]

The Score: Royals 7 – Tigers 3
The Gist: The Tigers got off to a fast start but the Royals decided not to lose their eighth straight on Sunday and scored seven unanswered runs off Tigers starter Kenny Rogers.
