I think the short contracts are good for the game. It gives a smaller market team a chance to go all in wuithout getting stuck with a contract for 10 years. Like the Tigers and Valdez.

Through age 28: Tucker 140 OPS+, +36 fielding runs Higginson 116 OPS+ -22 fielding runs At this point in his career, Tucker is a far better hitter and fielder and both are coner outfielders. I don't understand why you are getting so upset about Tucker's contract. He got a short contract with a high annual salary. It's not going to destroy the game.

Rare photo of the Adduci Family as the legendary Jim Jr gets his high school number retired. Credit his mom for getting his dad out of bed that morning to show up for this event.

As usual.
-
It's funny. Higginson is underrated because he was the best player on some horrible teams. Tucker may be overrated, but still substantially better than Higginson.
-
I am not worried about their 3B situation, but I still thought this was funny.
-
He earned it. I know arbitration is just part of how they do business, but I like to see employees get what they earn relative to their peers rather than get a certain amount based mostly on seniority. I am not being critical of the Tigers here. It's more a commentary on the system.

Pitching chaos is like platooning. It's great when it works, but it's based on need rather than design.
-
"Kyle Tucker is not much better than Bobby Higginson" is not something I expected to read this morning.
-
What is all this talk about trading Skubal? I'd be shocked if that happened now. They are in great position with this team now.
-
This signing changes everything. It erases my doubts about Harris/Ilitch having the aggressiveness to make big moves. They are now the clear favorites to win the division and the pitching depth should give them an edge in the playoffs. It also gives them a better chance in 2027-2028 than they would have had otherwise.

3rd best now
-
Even with Valdez!!!
-
If healthy, he is their second best starter. WOW, I have been working all night long and had no idea they signed Valdez!!!
-
I am very confident this will work itself out. YOU CAN NEVER EVER HAVE TOO MUCH STARTING PITCHING
-
It's amazing that Hiller is one of the ones remaining.
-
He made less than Flaherty last year. Less than Cobb too.
-
I completely agree this should not be about politics at all.
-
I became a fan at age 5 in 68. Lolich jumping into Freehan's arms is one of my earliest baseball memories.
-
Yes, I am not sure what the third rounders would get, but I believe the total sum would be substantially more with a free market and believe the draft was designed with that in mind. It's why they also want an international draft.
-
I think teams would offer substantially more than the current limits if there was a free market. The top players would make a lot more and I think the 90th guy could still get a million. A million isn't that much now.
-
I am not well versed in the CBA, but if there were not a draft, I assume there would be be bidding wars over the top players in the country. As it stands now, a player can only sign with the team who drafts him and a team is limited in how much money they can offer.

All things that MAGA hates.

When I see the name Ledbetter, I remember Jeff Ledbetter who broke the NCAA home run record with 42 in 1982, was drafted in the first round by the Red Sox and was hyped like he was going to be the next Babe Ruth. He never even made the majors and was dubbed Jeff "Bedwetter".
-
He knows Detroit too! But not very well. I didn't want him. He doesn't fit the team well. I was pushing for Bregman last year because he was a perfect fit. Suarez isn't.
