Long way away, but if the Tigers find themselves out of the race around the deadline, they may have a few good pieces to move. Here's a few general ideas.

Tigers trade:

JD Martinez

Dodgers trade:

Alex Verdugo and a
mid level P prospect Dustin May or Josh Sborz

Verdugo may seem like a high price for a rental but Martinez is truly a game changing bat.

Tigers trade:
Justin Wilson (controllable through 2018)

Nationals trade:
RHP Eric Fedde or OF Andrew Stevenson

Everybody knows how valuable bullpens are come playoff time. Wilson would be a hot commodity as a power lefty who brings it at 97. Other teams like the Astros, Cubs, Dodgers to name a few will be after bullpen help as well.

JD is old and not a great fielder and the offense doesn't overshadow the defense.

I don't think the Dodgers would give up Verdugo, who is really close to the majors, for a rental of Martinez.

And there's almost no chance of the Tigers getting that for Justin Wilson.

Doyers, Martinez is only 28, not exactly old.

But the Dodgers aren't paying that price for him.

^Correction, Martinez is 29. (I did the math wrong from his DOB) . Still, he's not "old"

There is no way the Nats would give away those players, especially Stevenson. Eaton injured, so Stevenson will be promoted in September. Werth and Harper are almost gone too.
