Why aren't they trying to add offense? The Pirates are trading away their whole team, maybe they have someone.

It is going to be frustrating for the Tigers and their fans because they have such a good shot at the playoffs, but they might not be able to score enough runs. With Verlander and Edwin Jackson, they could match up with almost anyone in a short series.

The offense could turn around and be good enough, but it seems unlikely with the current lineup. They need to add offense, and it has not happened yet.
