The Miggy decline years definitely saddled Avila and the Tiger managers of that era. They were in a no-win situation. I think Harris, if he had been in control, would have cut him prior to 500 HR and 3K hits. He doesn’t strike me as anyone who cares about tradition or nostalgia.
-
No one inherited a worse situation than DD did. Those were bleak days as a Tigers fan.
-
Of course, why is this even being debated? Even Ilitch Jr would shoot him out of a cannon if he suspected that Harris was phoning it in with the Avila holdovers.
-
Might have helped his Hall chances.
-
I’m not defending Harris’ performance (which I agree has been spotty), but his motives. I disagree with the notion that he doesn’t care about the active roster and only for the players he’s drafted.
-
We thought this last year, and I’d say they all rose to the challenge. I think the microscope is more on Meadows and Keith this season.
-
Seems like he has consistently signed team friendly deals. Must be nice for the Guardians fans. And horrible for us—7 more seasons of this Tiger Killer.
-
Greene is only 25. We’d be trading for more Riley’s that we hope could hit 30 HR’s
-
Flaherty still has his remaining. We could end up with both Mize and Flaherty in ‘27.
-
Would be interesting to see if they gave Mize a QO. If he had a similar season to this, he’d likely accept.
-
Is that a Glenn Hubbard sighting? His beard game was as good as his D.
-
If it plays out that we end up getting a Comp pick for a Skubal exit, the poor player that gets selected will be unfairly scrutinized by podcasters, local radio personalities and casual fans.
-
I would prefer not to burn a pick to sign a guy for one season or allow for an early opt-out, but would be worth it to get a good starter committed for a few seasons. Especially since we could lose Skubal, Mize and Flaherty after next season.
-
What evidence do you have that he doesn’t care about the current team? Really bad take. And he’s not trading Skubal at the deadline if the team is in contention—if they were committed to extracting value for him, they’d do it now when he is most attractive in trade.

Yankees? Cam Schitter, Ben Rice and Spencer Jones for Skoobs and Jake Rogers?
