Dave Dombrowski Not Interested In Trading Top Prospects For Rentals

If the Tigers do make any moves before next Saturday's trade deadline, it seems that none of the organization's top prospects will be involved if Detroit is trading for a player who is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.

Dave Dombrowski of #Tigers on Sunday morning: "Not trading our top prospects for a two-month rental."

One player who would be a two-month rental is Adam Dunn, as he is in the final year of his contract. While there has been talk that the Tigers are interested in him, I think it's safe to say no top prospects would be involved. Dunn is going to become a free agent at the end of the season, and there's no point in getting rid of your top players down the road for a couple months of Dunn or anybody on the market for that matter.

I'd be shocked

 if the Tigers could somehow land Dunn for anything less than a top prospect (or two). My guess is, if DD agrees to a deal, that it would be contingent on Dunn signing some sort of an extension with Detroit.
