I think that it got out that Yamamoto isn't interested with the Tigers because they have no Japanese players. It sounds like that is a reason that Harris is going after Maeda (besides being a very good pitcher). It sounds like Harris wants the Tigers to have a hand in the Japanese/Korean markets, and to do that, he's going to have to carry other Japanese/Korean players on their roster.
Also, Blake Snell is overrated. Don't think he deserves this. He walks too many for my taste. I don't know how he won in such a blowout. Are the voters just looking at ERA?
One guy who might get poached because he's pretty useful is Andrew Navigato. The Tigers don't have many shortstops around, I'm kinda surprised they didn't add him.
Harris has already stated that they are not ready to add substantial payroll to the team, I think he's going for value, which he's famous for in free agency. 1 or 2 year deal, max.
I believe it's Harris all the way. He had a knack in SF of finding under the radar guys in FA, especially pitchers, and getting good results. Alex Wood is a good example.
Mike Renner has his own channel now, I recommend it.
He thinks the Lions traded for DPJ for his blocking. Also, Green is a pretty good blocker, and has good speed. The DPJ talk is at the 22:00 minute mark.
