Where Tigers Go From Here After Losing Reese Olson, Acquiring Chris Paddack

Detroit Tigers

The Detroit Tigers made a significant trade on Monday afternoon days ahead of the trade deadline, but it wasn’t the area most expected them to add to the most. Detroit went out and landed a veteran starter before any sort of bullpen help or a boost to the bullpen, acquiring right-hander Chris Paddack from their division rival Minnesota Twins and raising some eyebrows across the league. The move for Paddack started to make way more sense when president of baseball operations Scott Harris revealed shortly after finalizing the trade that Reese Olson is going to be out for the remainder of the season with a shoulder strain. Whether or not Olson is able to return eventually for the postseason is not known immediately, but there is no question of how devastating a development this is.
