someone noted that they selected AAA All-star Christin Stewart with the pick they were awarded when Max Scherzer left, so that's something to look forward to to 2031
that would be a horrible deal for Skubal - pitchers get injured and he has already been injured
he is not foregoing $200M+ of guaranteed money to sign for 3 years
and there would be more picks available to make a modest trade if Holmes did not piss away picks to move up to grab Arnold, Manu, Vaki, TeSlaa, Martin, Fraizer, and others.
Luis Robert to Mets for 2 blah prospects. Nice roll of the dice by the Mets. If Robert can play 100-110 games (huge ? mark there) could be impactful for them.
a lot of economically illiterate people think that if the players were not so greedy, tickets and beers would be cheaper
it is odd to see fans clamoring for owners to keep more and more of the revenue
right now in terms of asset allocation, the Tigers have 1 year of Skubal, might be worth 6-8 WAR in 2026 + the 31st pick in 2027. The chances he signs with Det are approaching zero.
it is obvious to me the proactive decision would be to trade him now.
