Why didn't Tigers trade Gleyber Torres or Kenley Jansen? Scott Harris explains

The Detroit Tigers' trade deadline strategy saw them hold onto key players Gleyber Torres and Kenley Jansen, rather than trading them for improved bullpen depth. President Scott Harris explained that the potential returns offered for these veterans did not justify the risk of losing them. Instead, Harris prioritized keeping the team together and working towards a playoff push.

The market for relievers like Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize proved too attractive to pass up. Harris considered adding an extra reliever but concluded it wouldn't be cost-effective given the high prices of the available options. He emphasized that it made more sense to provide more playing time to young players who had already shown promise.
