The worse the Detroit Tigers do the more likely it is that the team will start selling off the pieces before the July 31 trade deadline.
Team slugger Miguel Cabrera, 34, who has not performed up to expectations this season, says he is tired of hearing all the speculation about trades, reports Chris McCosky of The Detroit News.
“They have to do what they have to do to get this team better,” Cabrera said before Sunday night's game in Cleveland. “It’s not part of my business. But if they are going to trade me, trade me. If they are going to trade these guys (teammates), trade these guys."
“But I don’t like to come here every day and hear about how they are going to trade this guy and trade that guy. Do something and then that’s it.”
“We’re human, man,” he said. “We think. We feel. We feel everything. It’s hard when you hear that every day…We’re trying to worry about playing and trying to win, not about this guy’s getting traded or that guy’s getting traded.”
