Doesn’t media coverage revenue get shared among teams already? Maybe it does to a smaller extent, I don’t know.
i think deadening the baseball and limiting the impact of the three true outcome game and getting back to a sport where the baseball is in the field of play would have positive benefits to pitching than currently focuses on means to throw the baseball past the hitter. Give pitchers a chance to allow the baseball go into play without fear of it going over the outfield wall.
Rosters just don’t stay intact like that. I would be surprised if two of Torkelson/Greene/Carpenter/Keith are not out of the organization by Opening Day.
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.
They get a bit too silly together at times. Dirks doesn’t seem to be off the rails with Dickerson. Likewise, Petry isn’t completely stoic with Benetti, but keeps himself more inbounds than Dirks.
I think it was understandable for Ivey to start out his season slowly or rusty or whatever. But I’ve got to think he should be past that by now. Last night was an opportunity to shoulder a significant part of the load and it didn’t happen. At the very least he should be looked to as a significant piece of the offense when Cunningham is on the bench in a game he plays, but that just hasn’t materialized yet this season.
Someone else said he doesn’t seem to have the same speed or quickness as he had before. I think he does, but it certainly seems like it isn’t used as often as in the past or maybe as often as it could be used. Maybe he’s lost that physically or maybe he he’s not back physically/mentally? I don’t know.
