In the latest edition of The Detroit News' Tigers Roundtable TV show, Lynn Henning says outfielder J.D. Martinez will likely be dealt before the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31.

"J.D. Martinez is going to get dealt," Henning said. "I think that's certain. He's going to go for a handsome package close to what (Yoenis) Cespedes and David Price brought two years ago.

"They need more talent and fresh blood in the system in order for them to be competitive for the long haul."
