Tigers retain Gleyber Torres and Kenley Jansen ahead of trade deadline

Summary

The Detroit Tigers decided not to trade Gleyber Torres and Kenley Jansen before the MLB trade deadline. President Scott Harris stated that the offers for these veteran players did not outweigh the potential benefits of retaining them. With a focus on making a playoff push, the organization evaluated the market and chose to keep the core of their roster intact. The Tigers previously traded Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize, but felt the value of Torres and Jansen was higher to their current strategy. Pitching reinforcements may come from within, as several young players are expected to be given opportunities.
