Detroit Tigers blow a 7-run lead in extra-innings heartbreak against the Baltimore Orioles, signaling a likely shift to sell mode at the trade deadline. Is this dramatic 10-9 loss the final straw for Scott Harris and the Tigers’ front office? With Tarik Skubal’s potentially final start at Comerica Park and the team now 7 games under .500, roster decisions loom large as the postseason slips further out of reach.

Scott Bentley breaks down the Tigers’ bullpen collapse, Kyle Finnegan’s concerning July, and Riley Green’s struggles with runners in scoring position. The offense shines, with Spencer Torkelson notching his 500th hit and 100th career home run, and the bottom of the lineup producing big. Key discussion points include Matt Vierling’s injury, McGonigle’s defensive gems, and why holding onto expiring contracts could spell disaster for Detroit’s rebuild. Can a sweep against the Oakland Athletics change the Tigers’ fate, or is it truly time to sell?

Detroit Tigers slide further in the playoff hunt with a third straight loss—should fans brace for a trade deadline sell-off? Scott Bentley breaks down the 8-5 defeat to the Baltimore Orioles, spotlighting struggles from Keider Montero on the mound, ongoing defensive woes, and Riley Greene’s continued frustration in high-leverage at-bats. With the Tigers now seven games under .500, questions arise about whether trading key arms is the wisest path forward.
