The Detroit Tigers made a trade Sunday evening with the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers.

In swap, the Tigers will receive right-handed reliever Tyler Owens as well as catcher Liam Hicks. Both players have been playing in the minors for the Rangers, specifically the AA affiliate Frisco RoughRiders.

Texas will receive catcher Carson Kelly, who has played 59 games this year for Detroit. Kelly has batted .242, along with 29 RBI's and 30% caught stealing rate. It is rumored that former second-round draft pick and current AAA prospect, Dillion Dingler, could be called up in result of the trade.

Detroit currently stands at 52-55, sitting 5.5 games out of the American League Wild Card race. They will face the division-leading Guardians Monday at 6:40 P.M. and Tuesday at 1:10 P.M. Catch all the action on WBRN via 96.5 FM.
