YES. In a heartbeat. Bobby Miller is a stud, he'll figure it out. This would be a no brainer.

The Tigers are aiming for a top 30 prospect. Realistically it'd probably be closer to 50 and a throw in pitcher/lottery ticket. They should be able to get a top 100 prospect pretty easily.

This is why I said that. In order to get SKubal, the O's would have to pay the pony so to speak. It'd cost em more than Mayo and Basallo for a 4 year controlled Cy Young Candidate. I still stick by my original guess 😎

I think the word you're looking for is criminal....

I thought this warranted a new thread so it doesn't get lost. This would be AMAZING! It's about stinking time. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/07/rob-manfred-hints-at-changes-to-rules-on-trading-draft-picks.html

Dodgers wont take on Baez's contract, it'd push them to the next tier in salary cap. Better for Tigers to eat it and maximize prospect return. The Dodgers just added a few kids in the draft this year that would be nice as well to be added to a package. The Dodgers Farm system has taken a beating though over the last few years and is probably in the 5-10 range now not the top 3. There's a big difference from that too. I still think the Orioles make the most sense. They have more prospects than places to put them and are in win now and Corbin Burnes only has this year and next. They won't sign him to a $300/$400 million contract so adding SKubal now is their best bet to make two really good runs at it. They can make the "stupid" offer, win a World Series and still be loaded for the foreseeable future.....

If they were smart, they'd do what the Braves did and start offering ALL their young stars team friendly 5-8 year deals. Can you imagine if they lockup Cowser, Kjerstad, Henderson, and Rutschman right now for 5 years? Sheeeeeesh.

Just curious, (not just you but anyone). Lets say a hypothetical situation, where our team was the Orioles current players but we had the Tigers Farm system. Would you trade your top 4 prospects (Clark, McGonigle, Jung, Jobe) to get to the World Series This year if your team was stacked? I'm truly curious on the responses to that question.

Tigers are focusing pitching and SS prospects. Good mix of HS and College so far.

Wouldn't it be cool to announce a trade during an All-Star Game. Can you imagine an Orioles player coming up to Skubal and giving him a Jersey and saying, "Welcome to the team!" Admit it, that'd be dope..... I wonder if that's ever happened. Good trivia. Doubt it but it'd be cool if it did.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again Skubal for Cowser/Kjersted (Don't care which one) Mayo Basallo Povich/McDermit (Don't care which one) Plus one other Norby (I like most but this is probably too much) You Do it! Get'er done Scott.

If 3 of these guys actually make it long term (including Greene) we are doing good.... I would love for them all to hit but realistically its highly doubtful...

Excellent! When's the last time Tigers drafted a SS in the first round? Great pick. Lets hope he pans out.

👍

Not at all. Quite the contrary. I'm just pointing out that Skubal has more value being traded right now than in our rotation next year.....

Easier to sign a starter than it is to fill 4-5 position players.......

This is great and all..... Whose on 1st? Whose in LF, CF and C? (assuming Keith 3B, Jung 2B And Baez SS)........

Keep it simple. Look at it this way. In 5 years if we don't do anything, it looks like this: C - ?? 1B - Tork (?) 2B - Jung SS - (McGonigle) 3B - Keith LF - Carpenter(?) (Malloy?) CF - Clark RF - Greene SP 1 - Skubal SP 2- Jobe SP 3- Olsen SP 4 - Mize (?) SP 5 - ??? So you're banking on Tork, Jung, McGonigle, Malloy, Clark all hitting (pun intended)....... There's not much beyond that. I'm still not sold on Carpenter. The only true first division regulars we have on our roster is Greene and Skubal. Maybe you can throw Olsen in there but even then he's realistically a #4 starter on a good staff..... We need more depth..... If we don't keep stocking up we will literally just sputter our wheels. I love rookies probably more than anyone. But to hope that essentially 7 of our fielders will all pan out as rookies.......... That's probably not happening folks. I am pretty sure Flaherty's a gonner. Hopefully we can get a prospect back in the 20-40 range and a toss in prospect for him. If Skubal gets traded, your looking at at least two top 20 prospects (if not 3) plus another B level or two prospects..... Now's the time to trade him. Skubal to the Orioles wins them the WS this year (on paper) and should net us 2-3 prospects on Clark's level..... There's 0 Reason to keep Skubal of the O's come calling with a good offer.

So the NYR are trying to mend fences with Trouba now. Did he block a trade to us? Otherwise, perhaps his price just plummeted? I'd be down for getting a heavy hitter..... https://www.motownredwings.com/2024/07/11/nhl-rumors-maple-leafs-red-wings-ducks-rangers/

Time clock. A lot of teams that are calling up these young prospects are very competitive (barring Pitsburg with Skenes). But a lot of the other prospects help their team win now and will push for playoffs. Tigers aren't close to being competitive but they need their position players to get their feet wet, ala Malloy, and Keith.... No need to start Jobes clock.

Yea, I forgot how screwed he got in the lottery the last few years......

Lets say they pull that off..... Heck lets say they make it in to the playoffs... Name one for sure playoff team they can beat? Orioles? Nope. Yankees? Nope. LA Dodgers? Nope.... There's no point in being buyers. At this point its just wasting prospect capital. Time to sell until we have a realistic chance of doing anything......

Seems pretty good. The tigers should get a good pick. There are 10 players that have separated themselves as the top true top 10. So if any slip, the Tigers should jump all over that. If none slip, the Tigers could go prep pitcher Cam Caminiti. I hope they go position player myself, but there's a lot of buzz here for Cam the top HS LHP. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2024/07/09/2024-mlb-mock-draft-roundup-options-for-detroit-tigers-at-pick-11/74332042007/ A perfect world, Nick Kurtz or Bryce Rainer fall to us. We are only a few days away.

I saw that article about the top 5 most overrated GM's and seeing Yzerman on there is kind of dissapointing.... The guy had to rebuild the entire franchise with barely anything. He's finally (from my understanding) has a decent team and a great pipeline of talent to infuse into the lineups the next few years...... I would think that'd be exactly what you want from a GM that took over with literally nothing... What am I missing? I get he hasn't made the playoffs, but he's set us up for success next year and multiple years after no?

That's just nuts.....
