don't mind them passing on the draft, but I doubt they have not discussed

after he wins a WS, then you can fire him for not being efficient

Kyle Gibson's contract with Baltimore is 1/10M; rather have Boyd

new reports are 2/86.66, so exactly equal to Max? plus a $35M player option if JV hits 140 innings in 2024

JV to Mets 2/86.8 Just beats Max's 43.3 AAV.

hopefully this will become an irrelevant exercise to the organization sooner rather than later looking at https://www.fangraphs.com/players/gabriel-martinez/sa3008865/stats?position=OF https://www.fangraphs.com/players/andres-chaparro/sa916976/stats?position=3B https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ryan-noda/sa873960/stats?position=1B/OF https://www.fangraphs.com/players/thad-ward/sa3008098/stats?position=P https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jayden-murray/sa1170405/stats?position=P https://www.fangraphs.com/players/tj-sikkema/sa3011191/stats?position=P https://www.fangraphs.com/players/erik-miller/sa3011336/stats?position=P might lose https://www.fangraphs.com/players/elvis-alvarado/sa919291/stats?position=P/OF

not franchise altering, but holding onto Chafin because he misread the market and Chafin's decision, perfectly demonstrates the failures of Avila The Tigers’ situation with Chafin was particularly difficult. Detroit shopped him as a reliever contenders could have for a season and a half thanks to the two-year contract he signed as a free agent last March. However, many teams viewed him as a rental due to the opt-out clause in his contract. Detroit decided to keep Chafin at the Deadline, believing they could hold onto him for 2023. Instead, Chafin opted out, hoping to take advantage of a thin free-agent relief market, leaving the Tigers with nothing in return.

Boyd's contract will look quite normal soon

yeah, the first player he brings in is a re-tread from some of the darkest recent days. but this is twice now that he has targeted Boyd, so maybe he sees something?

Harris cycled through a lot of starting pitcher in SF and sometimes it worked really well, sometimes not Gausman, Wood, Smyly, DeSclafani, Tyler Anderson, Cahill

looks like a lot of money now; may not in a few weeks

high K RH OF released by Ariz after 75 ABs

Apropos of nothing, the "ignore" feature is working great for me.

how awesome would it be if he wins?

play him for April, IL May to August, play him in Sept. Tigers close with a 6 game homestand aka Miggy Mania

Minor League GG for Reece Olsen https://www.mlb.com/news/2022-minor-league-gold-glove-award-winners

Lipcius cannot hit velocity? i think that might be a problem

he would be a great fit for Tigers; I doubt Tor trades him away as they would become almost exclusively RH with position players; don't know if any Det OF interests Tor, but they clearly want a CF, and LH OF bats Josh Smith and Ezekiel Duran of Tex are blocked by Simien, Seager and Jung; one or both would be a good pick up

Renfroe to LAA

controlling the strike zone probably means more than just high BB and low K, but here are some of those guys https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/trying-to-find-hidden-gems-with-bb-k-2022-23-edition.html

Candy is still one of the best short term 3B options out there; from Freep Before cutting ties with Candelario, the Tigers attempted to bring him back at a cheaper rate. It’s unclear if those negotiations will continue,

to me, the utter incompetence the organization displayed all year regarding hitting clouds any analysis of Tork he still had solid BB and K numbers, and some bad luck, decent EVs but clearly something was (is?) way off; terrifying to think we have yet another slow bat prospect

then they should work on Baddoo's noodle arm

That's about $9M saved in salary or about $7M when factoring a minimum salary for a 40 man roster guy. They should absolutely spend this winter, though there seems to be a very small middle class of position players, which makes it complicated.
