Casey Mize trade interest

Casey Mize’s market appears to be heating up as the MLB trade deadline approaches.

According to Ari Alexander, the Detroit Tigers right-hander has drawn significant interest throughout the day, with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Atlanta Braves among the teams pursuing him.

Mize has become one of the most attractive starting pitchers available after putting together a solid season for Detroit.

Tigers Facing Another Major Decision

The 29-year-old has posted a 4-6 record, 2.70 ERA and 0.992 WHIP across 16 starts in 2026. He has recorded 85 strikeouts over 86⅔ innings.

Mize is scheduled to become a free agent after the season, giving Detroit a difficult decision. The Tigers could move him now for additional young talent or keep him for their remaining playoff push.

Arizona’s interest had previously been reported, but Atlanta’s involvement adds another potential bidder and could help increase Detroit’s leverage.

Bottom Line

The market for Casey Mize is growing.

With the Diamondbacks, Braves and potentially other clubs involved, the Tigers could receive several serious offers before the deadline. After already trading Tarik Skubal, Detroit may be preparing to make another major change to its rotation.
