bo bichette a met, offseason not done yet, i bet

MLBTR reports that to be true, with the payroll tax based on 2025 at $169.4M

i guess it makes sense that they were chugging blue lite, then, and only because natty light wasn't in stock 😉

maybe arenado will recover some of his power in that park

lol @ riley chugging the blue light. is that cap'n jack doing the same?

Justyn-Henry Malloy to Tampa for cold, hard cash considerations

i remember seeing ted nugent play the star-spangled banner at the pistons season opener, maybe 1993 or 1994, that was pretty out there. i wonder what he would think of that today.

that's what jesus always says

wasn't inge a high draft pick of the randy smith regime?

the team sucks cock-o for rocco?

no no, tork is an mvp candidate

Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers. Not that he was coming here or anything but one name off the board

i don't suggest this because i'm sour on tork. i think he has value, and it is value that the tigers might be able to translate into a different kind of value (i.e., different position, something like that), with a possible play for upside with keith. also, to somebody else's point, keith isn't as good as tork defensively, today, but given a chance he can probably be much better than he is keith needs a position where he can learn and grow. he hasn't had that. and it's not like tork is keith hernandez

I guess I kind of think Keith presents the prospect [there's that word] of being better than Tork. So far he hasn't been is correct. I don't think Tork has any real upside left. At best, he'll get a little BA/OBP boost from more accurate strike calls in the future, but I think he's a finished product, for better or worse.

I wonder if Pittsburgh would have any interest, and any assets that would interest the Tigers, in a trade for Torkelson. Pitt is trying to get better for Skenes, and they got little out of 1B last year. So he might fit for them. If the Tigers want a veteran and an actual 3B and therefore are interested in Bregman (today's reports say 'yes'), this would open 1B for Colt Keith. Whatever assets Pitt might be able to send back may ameliorate the overall increase in cost that is effectively swapping Tork for Bregman.
