No one said Vierling was a problem. But when your top hitter is a 4th outfielder, you have failed at your job. And prospects are just that: prospects.

The Tigers have only one chip to get any prospects from Baltimore: Skubal.

Will he get a massive haul though? Mayne he'll get players back but it's just a trap shoot on whether any will be quality players.

Am I missing part of the season? Malloy has 2 career hits, Lee has zero. Canha has a .720 OPS. Vierling is a 4th outfielder. If you are using these as your examples of amazing hitters, your argument is super weak to non existent.

Star Trek 3D chess. Hinch is the smartest manager since Gardenhire.

The coach challenge is stupid. Why can't they just have an ump watching the game and if the call is wrong they simply buzz down and tell the home plate ump. It would have literally taken 10 seconds for the catchers interference to be overturned.

Looks like Malloy has been taking outfield lessons from Jose Canseco.

Why does this team suck so much? Fixed it

Hinch is playing 3D star trek chess while you are thinking on Candy Land level

I think today's game is the ceiling for Casey Mize. He is a legit #4 guy in a rotation.

Fire sale of anyone decent heading out soon. Bye Flaherty, bye Skubal....that would be about anyone who is decent or above

How dare you question the genius that is Mr Garbage Can, AJ Hinch.

If they had ownership that gave a damn they'd been fired long ago. I think hiring Hinch was a bad idea; hiring a disgraced, dirtbag is probably not your best choice.

Can't wait what the Wizard of Hinch has to say as to why the team sucked again.

What a garbage organization. Maybe 1 or 2 offensive players on this team that would even make half the rosters in mlb.

This would be the worst trade in the history of the franchise. Anyone who even thought of making that trade should be fired ASAP.

With all due respect, I seriously doubt GMs are out to try to screw another GM. That would be terrible for your reputation. Who would want to deal with you?

I don't think winning is a priority for the owner. Just keep the payroll down and turn a profit. I expect flaherty to be traded by the deadline this season and Skubal to be traded by the deadline of next year. I am on the verge on not caring ever again. Mike Ilitch ruined my enjoyment of baseball by running out such a garbage product out during the 90s when I was growing up. Now Chris is doing the same thing .

Nope. But if they think Keith has a future in the big leagues, moving him to first would be about as dumb a move as they could make. He has a chance to be an above average bat at 2nd but at 1st, he would be a bottom 1/3 bat.

Or they could get an actual bat at first instead of trying to fill the position with below average hitters at 1st.

You would think wrong. But there aren't any teams that are going to trade anything of greater value for those guys than what the Tigers are getting from them being on the roster

Lost all 25 bets? This guy was even worse at gambling than baseball. I wonder what the odds are for losing 25 out of 25.

You guys overestimate these guys. They have been hitting the last week or so but they were pathetic up until then.

I think the plan was always trade flaherty before the deadline. They aren't serious about putting a winner out there. And they won't get a lot for their catchers. Rogers and Kelly are run of the mill guys.

They probably traded him for 2 weak hitting middle infielders.
