This is a solid if not spectacular signing by Harris. Torres is only 28, mashes lefties and is on a team friendly one year deal. He will be very motivated to do well hoping for a big payday next off season and will see lots of lefties being in our lefty dominated lineup. Win Win. Added benefit of moving Keith to first where many of us on the board thought he belonged in the first place though he did improve turning the DP significantly his range is bad. Although we may yearn for him watching Glayber field next year we will have a homegrown replacement for 2026. Lighting a fire under Tork should also be beneficial. He can DH where he belongs. Harris has proven to be a good and consistent doubles hitter but we are still waiting for and in need of some home runs from Scottie. I am confident he will deliver. We are in real good hands.

I am thinking Breman ends up in Toronto a franchise as desperate to sign somebody as Bregman is to get a big contract. I think that his only shot for 200,000,000+ is Toronto.

Lots of off-season left, but the lack of activity is getting a bit concerning the division is ours for the taking, but somebody needs to hit the mall from the right side of the plate and a strikeout bullpen arm wouldn’t be a bad thing to have either rinse and repeat and reserving the right to say this again in two weeks

You like him for 7-8yrs 210/240 so 30/yr for seasons 31,32,33,34,35,36, 37/38 ?

Great area. I miss northern Michigan...spent lots of time there in high school and college before leaving the State. Bob Seger at the Thunderdome in TC for like 3 bucks 😀

Ideally they need a short term right handed hitting third baseman that could also play first. This allows him to play third while Jung gets reps in Toledo and Tork gets another look in the show and he can stay , replace Tork or get traded based on Torks and Jungs outcomes. I don't know who that is though. Justin Turner(old), Enrigio Suarez , Bohm, no idea....but not 200 million Bregman

Where would she hide the bomb ?

Traverse city in the summer. Why would you want to leave for anything !

Starting pitching has been VERY expensive this off season so far yet starters are pitching fewer and fewer innings. That doesn't make sense. Are we at the peak of Starters pay without the Industry realizing the cost will drop in the years ahead ? Didn't the 2024 Tiger chaos provide a glimpse into the future ? Spending 200 million plus for pitching seems really old school. I wouldn't do it. Pitchers break and Starters innings are decreasing. The future is 4 to 5 innings and bringing pitchers to the show quickly and turning them over is it not ? If mid market teams are going to compete for players in free agency they need to budget their limited funds to position players and develop pitchers.

I think Harris would agree with you. He seems to only move if he feels the deal fits his check list. I suppose that's why this off season is slow since as the team improves it becomes harder to find deals.

That's the 69 million dollar question. I don't think Hamm is sure thing just yet either.

Boom. Ya we aren't signing Bregman.

And the Central teams that feast on them have an edge for the wild card spots.

Gage Workman 😀

Detroit 7/189

Maybe but Issac could play first..interesting...

As for Bregman Boras is probably using us as a prop but the fact is I keep checking the internet too damn much to see if we got him not even knowing if I want him 🤣😆

I Loved watching Aurelio play. Just like you said he would just load up, wait and unload his cannon. What an impact him and Eddie Brinkman were on the left side of the diamond defensively. That McLain trade got us a great season in 1972 with them , Hondo and the aging stars from 1968. Maybe the best year of all with Billy Martin giving the Umpires hell. What fun.

I also never knew that. Makes sense. Thanks.

So the Boston front office is against Bregman, Cashman has been calling Houston cheaters and NY insiders say no way on Bregman That leaves Houston who wants five years and Toronto. Would we then have a window at 7 years 189 and if so should we ?

So far this off season has me a bit bummed out.

TB. Grrrr

Especially since they DFA Badoo and Englert still on 40.

Hope Workman gets sent back

Excellent.
