I believe they did offer him that. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been taken seriously. There was no way he was going to sign a short-term deal with the Tigers. It seems like he wants the chance to put up big numbers this year with the Red Sox and then go for a big 6-7 year deal nextyear. If not, then he still gets a damn good three-year deal.
He has to make the team first. Is he better than Holton, Brieske, Foley, Vest, Kahnlee. Hurter, Guenther, Hanifee? Maybe, but those guys were pretty good last year. He does add some depth though which is crucial today.
They got a good player for one, two or three years and don't have to deal with the likely decline in the his mid 30s. I would have been happy if he Tigers got him for that.
There was room for both and the salary comparison is apples and oranges given where they are at in their careers
It's done though. I wish it wasn't the Red Sox who got him. I hate seeing them get someone the Tigers wanted.
A MAGA clown on facebook was telling me that Musk didn't care about money because he already has enough. He was just trying to fix our economy. They just don't get it.
He gives up a ton of home runs, but maybe not as many pitching in Comerica. I don't know if he's better than their 8 best relievers, but they need depth. He's another decent arm.
Cognitively impaired...But he's got that working man's Queen's accent that he has cultivated over the years. That makes everything he says believable to MAGA.
Any time I post something on BlueSky, I might get one response from Edman and that's about it. There is very little baseball conversation there. If I want breaking news or rumors, it won't be on BlueSky.
I agree that Bluesky is not good for sports news, baseball in particular. Most of the people I follow are over there, but they don't use it much. They are still on Twitter, probably because they have built a strong following there. Baseball is what I'm looking for in social media, so I still use Twitter more.
