There is no such thing. We see him as the malignant narcissist that he is.

I think earlier in the thread I said no I would not sign anyone to these contracts. I would make an exception in Skubal's case. His change up is an insane pitch. His work ethic and competitiveness are excellent. I think he's up there with Verlander and Scherzer. I always hated they let them go and I don't want to lose Skubal.

Five years of social media history please. We have a Trump supporter! Deport to North Korea!

I can't wait for them to crawl back under their rocks.

Good. I'm confident the youngsters will continue to improve but I would not complain if they added a number two starter or an impact bat.

$11 million for Jansen plus a club option.

Ilitch won't spend and Harris doesn't make bold moves...who shot who in the what now?

Avila had seven years. Let's see if Harris makes it to seven. It will be easier to compare then. So far, it's zero post seasons for Avila and two for Harris.

Lefty Johan Simon coming from Toronto.

Chase Lee traded to Jays for a minor leaguer. Please try to contain your excitement. Makes room for Finnegan.

I wonder if Imai and Murakami are throwing a wrench in the works. Will they wait until the last minute to sign to maximize their contracts?

Baddoo to the Brewers.

Fangraphs calling the Detroit Tigers Tabbies.

"I love minors!" - Donald Trump

Russia 2.0 in the rear view, headed straight for Democratic People's Republic of Korea 2.0

Is it spring training yet?

No thread title rhyme for Rocco Maniscalco?

Plus $1 million in potential bonuses for Finnegan.

I think the answer is lots of men are not predators. Maga are predators.

Haven't seen any rumors about Tigers making an offer except for one Skubal turned down in 2024 I believe.

I don't see anything about a minor league salary option like Manuel Margot signed last year. They have to pay $7 million and I think he would have to agree to go to the minors (Maeda did for rehab). Just because they want him to start doesn't mean he can't be put in the bullpen. The option could be interesting in 2027 with a few starters as potential free agents.

https://www.mlb.com/tigers/news/tigers-sign-pitcher-drew-anderson Harris quotes about Mr. Anderson: “He made a really good impression with us in the spring of ‘24,” Harris said. “I thought he worked really well with our pitching group. I thought he accessed some additional velocity and fastball quality that he carried to Korea with him. In Korea, he was able to hold his velocity across a pretty big workload for a starter. He also added a kick-change that became a real swing-and-miss weapon for him. He still has a curveball.” “We feel like with the added swing-and-miss secondary pitch, and the familiarity and the foundation of innings, that he can be a real addition to our team,” Harris said. “We’re really excited to add him.” “At this point in December, generally we’re just trying to add as much pitching as we possibly can, trusting that we’re going to be able to figure it out in partnership with A.J.,” Harris said. “I think the thing that really sticks out with Drew is that it’s not just the foundation of innings, it’s the performance, too. The [rate of] bats that he was able to miss in Korea [was] pretty staggering.”

Anderson $7 million with a $10 million team option for '27.
