• Reactions are mixed in Detroit, happy in Seattle and beyond angry in Tampa Bay.
• Is Price Max Scherzer insurance?
• Is Justin Verlander bullpen bound for the playoffs?
• Tigers and A's in a Cold War style arms race.
• Outfield is full of question marks with the trade of Austin Jackson
• Curtis Granderson all over again.
• Drew Smyly is frowning.
