No, I don't think that. I was questioning MTU's statement that he shouldn't make a move that would make him look weak in future negotiations. My feeling is he shouldn't make moves based on whatever GMs think of him.
-
Not making a move because you're afraid of what other teams might think is not a good idea. A confident GM makes the best move (or doesn't make a move) based on what helps his team the most at the current time.
-
The first big test line is stupid, but I think it's fair to say that the failure to get anything for Rodriguez is on him regardless of circumstances.
-
We know what Henning will be talking about for the next five years.
-
Joey Wentz and Beau Brieske aren't building a solid winning foundation for the future either!
-
Maybe he wants the challenge of some day winning in Detroit with teamates that he knows. The Dodgers are probably going to make the playoffs without him, so I don't see where joining a team that is already good is a great accomplishment. I know most athletes would choose that but it seems hollow to me.
-
Harris churns some more positional versatility.
-
I have never understood why it is considered honorable to participate in a pennant which you had nothing to do with creating. It's probably more fun, but it also seems kind of cheap. That part doesn't bother me at all. I am less sure about the other issue as I don't know the reasons for his absence, but I don't want to assume the worst.
-
There very well may have been a very good reason for him leaving the team last year. I will let the players decide whether or not he is a good teammate. Lefty pitchers tend to be a little odd. Personally, I view wanting to stay with you team for the long term (if that's the case) as more honorable than wanting to play in a pennant race which you did nothing to create
-
I am going to assume that the Tigers will now extend Rodriguez and he'll be a Tiger for the next 4 or 5 years. Harris won't just let him go for nothing. This is not a bad outcme in my opinion.
-
I usually assume it's all about the money, but given the personal problems he had last year, being close to home certainly could be an important consideration for him.
-
That is a bummer..but could Rodriguez be trying to force them keep him and extend him? That could be a good outcome.
-
I'm fine. How are you?
-
He'll add a couple more positions by the time he reaches the Tigers. I do like the continued emphasis on on base skills.
-
Dombrowski is always looking to improve his ballclub, but he said that he felt good about his team and didn't anticipate making any deals before the deadline.
-
Maybe Jeimer Candelario.
-
"We are pleased with the acquisition of Michael Lorenzen. He's a quality player and we think he is going to be a fine addition to our ballclub"
-
Could be another Nick Maton.
-
Pronounced "How You Lee"
-
Is Cabrera going in as a Marlin or a Tiger?
-
It's an individual award. He'll go in as Justin Verlander. We can claim him as a Tiger either way and that is likely the hat that will go on his plaque anyway.
-
13 years as a Tiger...He'll go in as a Tiger.
-
I don't know. I'm not too good at judging prospect trades because most of them don't amount to anything. Kjerstad is certainly well regarded.
-
That fake trade had me going enough for me to be looking up stats and scouting reports. It looked real. It would have been a good return, but not too good to be true.
-
The projections would take his 2022 season into account.
