MLBTR suggests Colt to 3B but who knows

Tigers are reportedly signing Gleyber Torres. Discuss.

I don’t know if I’m knowledgeable, and I don’t think I’m salivating, but the reason I bring it up, is that the pool of available guys is dwindling, and if the kind of guy the Tigers are after is some sort of reclamation or salvage, why not have a little fun with it?

Walker Buehler reported to Boston and Manaea back to the Mets. There aren’t that many arms left out there. I wonder if a reunion with Flaherty, Verlander, or Scherzer might be a possibility. The latter two are more about nostalgia than results, but I still wouldn’t mind

Suzuki’s OBP would definitely be welcome

Lindstrom was dominate

details like what team they play for? 😉

It sounds like the $15M is coming from sources other than the Rays

they could've been the wet sox. afterward the giants threatened to leave SF to go there. i think that was more like '89

For me, he needs to OPS .750, but with a good component of that coming from slugging and not OBP. The problem is that the team will find out too late if he can do it, i.e., they have to spend now

I like this too but with Tork in the fold and Walker requiring the Tigers to sacrifice a draft pick (or perhaps two? I'm not sure) because of the QO, I have a hard time thinking it will happen. I think they're more likely to bring in somebody who can play 1B on the type of contract that they can eat during the year if Tork finds himself

So even less likely. I wonder if Justin Turner might be on the Tigers radard as a 1B option

Andrew Chafin is a free agent again

It came to mind because Burnes was part of a combined no-hitter. The other pitcher involved was Josh Hader, who also donned the specs

Corbin Burnes used to wear glasses

Law is just baiting us cuz he hates the Tigers. In fact, he hates everything with stripes -- zebras, nautical sweaters, those things on the back of some roadwork trucks, you name it

I will offer her 12 years

I don't know everything involved, but I've long thought it would make sense for Olympia to have its own RSN. Tigers, Wings, hell, whatever else. Put DCFC on there, I would watch it. I suppose there has to be a good reason that they haven't done it.

Freep is reporting it now: https://www.freep.com/story/sports/2024/10/18/bally-sports-detroit-fanduel-sports-network-diamond-sports-group/75735618007/ Per the article: "That [i.e., Diamond Sports' statements to the bankruptcy court] meant the Tigers either have to renegotiate their deal or find a new TV home for their games in 2025. Since the news came out, there hasn't been any word about what the Tigers intend to do, and whether they'll appear on FanDuel Sports Network is not clear at this time."

maybe they could change their name to the bootsox or something, too

The location of that Tampa Tarpons (nee Yankees) stadium is where the Rays stadium ought to have been all along, but couldn't be, because the Yankees were there already. It is right across from the Bucs stadium (though the Tampa Yanks were there first) in an area that has good major road and freeway service. Appropros of nothing, I also met Skeeter Barnes there once when he was managing the Lakeland Tigers

And the attendees are probably still in the suites getting drunk and trying to pick up younger women

I think I'd rather the Yankees won again than Cleveland

with authority -- like with cops beside him?

I thought of that, too. but i figured it must be some kind of cleaning agent
