Detroit Tigers – Shane Greene has been traded to the Braves. The Tigers will likely turn to a committee of Joe Jimenez and Buck Farmer to close out games, with Jimenez having the slight edge if he remains on the roster. Don’t forget that Trevor Rosenthal is also a Tiger and has only allowed two earned runs in six innings of work with Detroit. Stranger things have happened!
Updated hierarchy: *Jimenez | Farmer | Hardy.
Atlanta Braves – After dealing for Chris Martin last night, the Braves watched Anthony Swarzak and Luke Jackson stink again and decided to try and further improve their bullpen by acquiring Shane Greene from the Tigers. Greene has closed for Detroit since 2017 and should take over that role in Atlanta.
Updated hierarchy: Greene | Martin | Jackson.
