Exactly. There’s the “equation” of a trade. And who is going to offer what right now? Is it better than a compensation pick?
But there’s also 2026 to consider. The Tigers are a playoff team with Skubal. Any playoff team can win the World Series. I get wanting to move a one season guy for possible future production.. but it seems to me like they should take advantage of being a playoff team now. It was a tough time getting back to the postseason. Take another shot at the ring with a top of the league pitcher whilst he’s still here in Tiger clothes.
Agree. A group of Olson, Anderson, Madden, Melton, Keider, and Gipson-Long is not to be trusted for two plus SP slots. Bassitt is a good option at this point to cover one of those spots.
