Meadows is going to be out awhile..Both Castros and Reyes are not long term answers here.
Grossman is a cooked/sunken asset. If you want Akil to play, there are plenty of opportunities.
There have to be consequences for veterans who aren’t hitting this deep into the season and make fundamental mistakes. He has no trade value…act like you care that the team is this bad.
Prior to today’s game, the Tigers recalled RHP Drew Carlton from Triple A Toledo. As a corresponding move, RHP Garrett Hill has been optioned to Toledo.
I don't care about making moves in the standings. That battle is lost. I want to see Baddoo promoted and given a shot. I want to see them figure out what to do with Tork and start making hard decisions on Grossman, Candy, Barnhart, etc.
Rebuilding in the Tigers context is cutting costs to save money. If they are making trades to make themselves better in the future, that's not antithetical to the rebuild being over.
