The Detroit Tigers may consider a trade for San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee as the trade deadline approaches. The Tigers' outfield has been challenging, with only Riley Greene performing well at the plate. With Lee boasting a.303 batting average and three years remaining on his contract, he could provide immediate help. The Tigers are undecided on whether to buy or sell and have around $110 million in salary potentially hitting free agency this winter. Negotiations between the teams could involve financial concessions to facilitate the deal.
