Here at The Corner, we round up Detroit Tigers news and rumors around the Tigers blogosphere so that you don’t spend hours surfing the web searching.

The Detroit Tigers are expected to have a lackluster trade deadline this season. They are expected to be sellers this year, however injuries and lackluster performances will probably hinder any blockbuster trades.

First though, some midseason musings from Detroit Tigers broadcaster Dan Dickerson. The first half has been an interesting one, to say the least, for Tigers fans. With the trade deadline approaching, one Tigers fan tries to find some position players which the team can trade for. The Tigers have lacked in positional player depth this season.

The trade deadline is always a hot spot for the rumor mill. The Tigers have even openly expressed being sellers at the deadline. And according to one report the Detroit Tigers are fielding offers for both Michael Fulmer and Nicholas Castellanos.

Finally, the MLB All-Star game is tonight. It’s slated to start at 7:30 PM. Last night Bryce Harper took home the Home Run Derby out lasting the Cubs’ Kyle Schwarber. The Derby was a thrill to watch, to say the least.
