The Tigers, who tried but failed to address their offensive woes before the July 31 deadline, have acquired Aubrey Huff from the Orioles in exchange for minor-league pitcher Brett Jacobson.

Huff was hitting .253 with 13 home runs and 72 RBIs for the Orioles. Huff has slumped in the second half, but his RBI total is still more than any Tiger player has this year.

The Tigers were one of several teams that talked to the Orioles about Huff before the non-waiver deadline. The Giants also showed interest.

Great pickup for Detroit. It was either a 3rd baseman or a catcher.

Bad trade for orioles!

They weren't going to do anything anyway. They should rebuild now and get prospects

Aubrey Huff was a good piece to build around him. Orioles should of kept him.

i guess he's a decent pickup. they already have cabrera at 1st, so i guess he'll DH. and this guy has had 3 good seasons, out of 10. so it's not like he's some savior guy who will lead them to the world series.
