I’ll be doing my day job today, so if anything happens, I probably won’t be able to hit it until after the 4pm deadline. But if something does happen and you want to post it here and help the community, all the better.

Perusing Lynn Henning’s Burning Questions today I came across the following:
Q . Are the Tigers any more inclined today to make a trade ahead of next Tuesday’s deadline?
