Tigermojo

Trea Turner to Phillies for 11 years and $300 million.

Verlander to Mets for two years. Only $86 million plus an option.

Kreidler was excellent defensively and generated more value in 24 games at third than Candy did in 124 games. I think Kreidler probably a utility player at this point and they should add an established player for now at third. The time for Candy to be great was this year AND next year to earn the most money of his life but he completely failed this year. He cost himself millions of dollars. He didn't improve all year. Something was seriously wrong. When he personally had to be at his best, he couldn't do it. Why should the Tigers pay him for less than his best?

I had to look that up and I cannot dispute it.

Wrapped in bacon and dipped in brown sugar?

Candy looked lost at the plate and in the field. He wasn't his old self and we'll probably never find out if it was mental or physical. I would have been fine gambling $7 million for one more year but I expect Harris to find an established player to replace him.

Yes, I guess he was injured in 2001 after a dominant first half of the season.

deGrom to the Rangers for 5 years $185 million plus option year for a possible $222 million 6 year total! Last three years 68/92/64 innings pitched.

I like Boyd. I was sorry to see him go. It's not a bad signing but he is a question mark on a team already full of question marks. There's still room for an established starter to be signed.

Matthew Boyd coming home.

"12:10pm: Mike Rodriguez reports that Candelario will make a $5MM base salary with $1MM in performance incentives available."

Fangraphs projects Cleveland to win the division with an 82-80 record. Now is a great time to add some wins to the roster.

Our secret weapons against junk ball pitchers.

I'm concerned about all of the hitters and most of the pitchers.

23 players had plate appearances for the Tigers this year. 12 of them are off the roster now. Miggy, Short, Clemens and Schoop will probably all be gone by this time next year. Possibly Baez too. Then this horrendous offense will be in the rear view mirror.

It's slim pickings. Third Basemen Ehire Adrianza (33) Hanser Alberto (30) Willians Astudillo (31) Johan Camargo (29) Charlie Culberson (34) Brandon Drury (30) Matt Duffy (32) Maikel Franco (30) Phil Gosselin (34) Josh Harrison (35) Evan Longoria (37) Jace Peterson (33) Donovan Solano (35) Justin Turner (38) Jonathan Villar (32)

Joey Wentz made the All-AFL team with 12IP 2H 14K 0.00 ERA.

No team can build a winner by following one or two methods. That's why Avila failed. You can't just develop kids into stars and fill the gaps with free agents. The Tigers will have to take a chance on an aging veteran and make some trades and pick up some bounce back candidates. Maybe take a risk on someone coming back from an injury and trade for a bad contract to get someone good included in the package. Harris said they will make a lot of moves because that is what he should be doing every year. He can't rely on a 20 year old pitcher taking over a rotation spot or that new free agent to stay healthy and productive. It's a competition of 40 players against other teams and it should be a competition between the Tigers' 40 players as well. Nobody on this team should feel comfortable, not even Javy Baez or Miguel Cabrera.

Click rejected Houston's one year deal as GM. Would he come to Detroit?

Pujols' 700 HR ball sold for $360k at auction.

Right handed back up at 3B, 2B and 1B. Decent 2021, horrible 2022. Age 29. AAA filler.

Lund has a degree in kinesiology which is good since so many pitchers were injured this year.
