Casey Mize's Trade Status Uncertain Ahead of Deadline
Detroit Tigers pitcher Casey Mize was scratched from his scheduled start against the Oakland Athletics on Friday as trade conversations around him intensified ahead of Monday's MLB deadline. Mize, who is having one of the best seasons of his career with an 85-19 K/BB ratio and a 2.70 ERA over 86 innings, expressed disappointment at not being able to compete but understands the team's decision to protect him while potential trades are discussed. His next start could be for the Tigers in Seattle or for a contender that acquires him before the deadline.6 sourcesSee all sources
