Tigers call up top prospect ahead of MLB trade deadline

The Detroit Tigers have made one of their most anticipated roster moves of the season, promoting elite outfield prospect Max Clark to the major leagues just days before the MLB trade deadline.

While much of the attention surrounding Detroit has centered on the future of ace Tarik Skubal and whether he'll be moved before the deadline, the organization has shifted the spotlight by bringing one of baseball's brightest young talents to the big leagues. The timing may seem connected to the trade deadline, but Clark's recent performance suggests he earned the promotion with his play.
