Miguel Cabrera just told me, directly, that he has no intention of retiring after this year. His plan, he said, is to finish out his contract and retire after 2023.

The Tigers could do a lot worse than a bunch of high floor utility guys. Look at this season, we have no space-fillers for guys who are having historically bad offensive seasons.
Soto, Chafin, and Jimenez do wonders for a team that is this bad offensively and defensively. It's almost like they have less value on a horrendous team.
Henning despises that the Tigers built the 2006-2014 run from free agency and trades. He thinks that all rebuilds have to be organic from the farm system and all free agent contracts are poison. He blames fans for demanding that money gets spent to improve. Then blames fans for the contracts turning out bad, not the people who signed the contracts.
I have no idea what you are arguing in this thread. Is Avila good or bad? Should he lead the organization going forward? I say he is bad and is clueless and has no idea how to build a winning major league org. I think I've been pretty clear in my analysis. It's clear he can't handle a trade deadline. We have prima facie evidence of that. The free agents he has signed have more or less been disasters.
Make your point and I will respond. No need to S%%tpost. If you want to argue against my opinion, feel free.
I think they will need to have a conversation with Cabrera about 2023. He has hit the milestones and he's getting the money either way. I wonder if he wants to put himself through this nonsense again.
