A.J. Hinch announces third base coach Joey Cora is no longer with the Tigers organization. Hinch said it wasn’t due to a specific incident. “It’s just two baseball guys talking about what was best.”

Sources: The Tigers were in talks with the Cardinals for Ryan Helsley before the Mets acquired him. Helsley is a pending free agent; Detroit has preferred controllable options, such as Pirates closer David Bednar. @MLBNetwork

Spencer Torkelson got a lot of praise last season about his improvement on defense at first base. But he's not been very good with the glove for a while now.

Morosi on Tigers’ pursuit of Eugenio Suarez: “Someone, I think, like Max Anderson would have probably gotten the deal done, or close to it, at least that range of player.” “But the way they want to run the organization is to not give up your top-10 prospects for rentals.”

Still seven hours till the trade deadline, so there’s a chance the #Tigers pounce on a bigger fish. But for now, there seems to be a reliance on hope — Montero (Rafael), Sewald, Paddack, Cobb, Lange, Gipson-Long, Urquidy, maybe even Dobnak. It’s some risky business.

Tigers starters have thrown 6.0+ shutout innings in three-straight games. It's the third time this has happened in franchise history, with other instances coming in 1949 and 1910.
