Free agent RHP Jon Gray is viewed within the baseball industry as a good candidate to sign within the next week. Steven Matz's contract is a useful reference point for Gray; both are 30 years old, and neither received a qualifying offer. @MLBNetwork@MLB
Aβs are willing to listen to trade inquiries on their veterans, including pitching stars Chris Bassitt, Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea. Should be huge interest.
5. Carlos Rodon my favorite pitching option out of these guys. Price may be hefty but we do not care. Absolutely filthy arsenal of pitches. One of the best pitchers in baseball right now. Only 28. 2.43 ERA/2.71 xFIP/2.89 SIERA on the season
Tigers potential options a thread:
1. Charlie Morton
Morton, a veteran does have some age concerns however his price should be relatively affordable. A leader pitcher would be a great option for a young staff. Velo is still 94-97 so be should still be a good pitcher

4. Kevin Gausman. Gausman is absolutely elite. Top 5 Cy Young canidate. Great fastball even better splitter.have some concerns about recent performance and his price may be hefty but extremely worth it
After a loss on May 7, the Tigers were 9-24 and had lost 18 of 21 games.
Since then, they've gone 25-20.
