According to Jon Morosi, the Detroit Tigers are poised to make two trades and maybe more.

From Jon Morosi:
The Tigers are virtually certain to trade Nicholas Castellanos, who crushes left-handed pitching and is due to become a free agent after this year.
• The Tigers probably will trade closer Shane Greene, too. He pitched a scoreless inning Tuesday before scouts from the Dodgers and Nationals, two teams known to have interest in him. One source said Tuesday that the Tigers recently have become more active in discussions about moving Greene.
• And the Tigers remain uncertain about whether they will trade left-hander Matthew Boyd, who turned in a quality start Tuesday (six innings, two earned runs) in his final home outing before next Wednesday’s Trade Deadline.
In discussions with various teams, the Tigers have proposed the possibility of pairing Boyd and Castellanos — or Boyd and Greene — in the same trade, as a way to access the highest tier of available prospects. It’s not necessarily the case that the Tigers will insist on position player prospects in trades, even though their system is stronger among pitchers.
