## Resource

The Tigers had several starting pitchers injured in the month of May, but the team is playing much better since then. Pitcher Tarik Skubal suggested that the team "add" players at the trade deadline, prompting the question of whether the team should sacrifice players who could help long-term for a chance to win big -- especially because Skubal could choose to leave via free agency. Additionally, the Pistons are looking for their next moves.
