Even though the Detroit Tigers have been active in trade talks and would like to reduce payroll, they are not planning on gutting the team. "I can assure you 100 percent that we do not have any kind of fire sale, or salary dump, or whatever you might call it, taking place," said Dave Dombrowski. "I can also tell you that I've been part of that in my career, so I know what that situation is like. "In that situation, you go to your owner and say, 'This is not a good trade, but I can move this salary. Would you still want me to do this?' And he says, 'Yes,' and you just move the salaries ... I've done that, but not here."
