US EditionTigers Acquire Veteran Starter From Twins in First Move Before Trade Deadline
WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN, JUL 28 – The Tigers added right-handers Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak to strengthen their pitching staff ahead of the trade deadline, trading prospect Enrique Jimenez to the Twins.
- On Monday, July 28, 2025, the Detroit Tigers acquired right-handed starting pitcher Chris Paddack from the Minnesota Twins in a trade involving minor leaguer Enrique Jimenez.
- The Tigers made this move as part of their strategy to reinforce their roster during the MLB trade deadline period ending Thursday, July 31, while leading the AL Central despite recent losses.
- Paddack, 29, has pitched 21 starts this season with a 4.95 ERA and 83 strikeouts across 111 innings, and he is expected to join Detroit's rotation immediately to help the team contend.
- Detroit traded Enrique Jimenez, a switch-hitting 19-year-old catcher with six home runs in the Florida Complex League, signed for $1.25 million in 2023, to complete the deal for Paddack.
- Following this first deadline move, the Tigers plan to target a third baseman, possibly Eugenio Suárez, and could also seek relief pitching to address inconsistencies in their bullpen.
