The Detroit Tigers are eyeing a few impactful closers before the upcoming trade deadline, with MLB insider Jim Bowden highlighting six key targets. Among them, Aroldis Chapman of the Boston Red Sox and David Bednar of the Pittsburgh Pirates stand out as realistic acquisitions. Chapman is enjoying a stellar season with a 1.25 ERA and is considered one of the top closers. Bednar, a two-time All-Star, also has impressive stats despite playing for a struggling team.

Other notable targets include Félix Bautista of the Baltimore Orioles, who has successfully returned from Tommy John surgery with 17 saves, and Mason Miller from the Oakland Athletics, though Miller has seen a dip in performance this season. Ryan Helsley of the St. Louis Cardinals remains a solid option as well, contributing with a 3.19 ERA and 18 saves. Lastly, Emmanuel Clase of the Cleveland Guardians, known for his ability to close games with consistency, completes the list. The Tigers are expected to aggressively pursue these options to strengthen their bullpen.
