The Detroit Tigers<\/strong> are having one of their best seasons in years. They\u2019ve started off on fire, and right now, they have the #1 record in all of Major League Baseball. They\u2019re also comfortably ahead in their division, leading the American League Central by six whole games over the Minnesota Twins.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a huge deal, and fans are excited.<\/p>\n

But even great teams have small problems to fix, and the Tigers know it. That\u2019s why, when the mid-season trade window opens this summer, they\u2019ll probably look to add a few more strong players to get even better.<\/p>\n

Right now, the Tigers aren\u2019t stealing many bases,\u00a0just 21 so far, which is the lowest in the entire league. That means they\u2019re missing chances to move players ahead and score more runs.<\/p>\n

Sports writer Zachary D. Rymer says there\u2019s a perfect solution: the Tigers should trade for Jarren Duran, a fast and talented player from the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n

Rymer says the Tigers are playing so well right now that it\u2019s \u201cWorld Series or nothing,\u201d\u00a0and Duran could supercharge their offence and help them go all the way. His speed could be the missing piece that makes a real difference.<\/p>\n

\n

So, who is Jarren Duran?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This season, Jarren Duran has:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    A batting average of .273<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    4 home runs<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    35 RBIs<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    13 stolen bases<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    And a strong OPS of .743<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    He\u2019s fast, reliable, and aggressive on the basepaths, the kind of guy who can turn a single into a double or score from first base on a deep hit.<\/p>\n

    If the Tigers get him, he\u2019d likely play center field, which would allow Javier B\u00e1ez to return to his natural spot in the infield,\u00a0another win for the team\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n

    \n

    What would the Detroit Tigers have to give up?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    To get Duran, the trade deal might include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Jackson Jobe<\/strong>, a top young pitcher<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Bryce Rainer<\/strong>, the team\u2019s #3 prospect<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      That\u2019s a big offer, and it\u2019s not easy to give up such promising young talent. But with the Tigers so close to greatness this year, this might be the perfect time to go all in and chase the World Series dream.<\/p>\n

      Duran\u2019s speed could help the Tigers score more, steal more, and pressure the other teams,\u00a0exactly what they need.<\/p>\n

      So maybe it\u2019s time for Detroit to call Boston and make a deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
