The Detroit Tigers appeared to be cruising toward the postseason as the American League's best team, but all of that is changing in a hurry.

Neal: Minnesota Twins trading Chris Paddack shows that Twins president Derek Falvey will be a seller at the MLB trade deadline.

The Tigers have acquired right-hander Chris Paddack from the Twins, reports The Athletic. Paddack is one of several rental Twins players expected to move before the deadline, with outfielder Harrison Bader and lefty Danny Coulombe the most notable.

With the MLB trade deadline coming close, the Detroit Tigers could add depth to their outfield by trading for the Minnesota Twins' Harrison Bader.

"When a team is going through adversity, you're going to see what the team is made of," Tarik Skubal said after the Detroit Tigers' 12th loss in 13 games.
