I predict there will be a hurricane somewhere before the end of the calendar year.

Jung would definitely be behind McKinstrey. Hinch loves that guy for some reason

Can you explain why Flaherty and Buehler would sign here? I suspect Ilitch wants to keep salary low and wouldn't want to hand out long term contracts to pitchers. I am guessing Flaherty is not going to want a one year deal. And they will probably have better options with teams that have chances of making the playoffs. Alonso is going to want a big contract with lots of years...can't see Ilitch spending money. I'm thinking if they sign guys it will be someone who had a really down year or someone who won't make much of an impact (Canha, Urshula).

It's about as meaningful as nfl draft grades the day after. It means nothing at all.

Not everyone can get a mouth full of sh*t and claim it tastes delicious.

It was fun watching Flaherty pitch for half a season but he's off to a quality organization so we should all be happy for him.

I guess I can buy the 2029 playoff tickets now that these 2 guys are in the organization.

Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

I remember the Cubs and Tigers used to have the most day games....and the Cubs got lights hopefully, the Tigers can get some lights this century.

The Orioles are planning on having strong offensive players come up every year instead of trading them all and then hoping they can resign a bunch if guys in a few years.

It is tough to follow an owner who doesn't give a flying bleep and bleeds the city for every dollar he can get, but I just can't follow another team. In the 90s when they sucked the whole decade and up until 2005 or whatever I just didn't follow baseball at all. I like watching Skubal and Flaherty pitch, and if they trade them, I will just not care about this team anymore. So I might just not pay attention until they actually try putting a winner out there. I think there are a lot of fans who feel like this.

You can sneak into the playoffs with that rotation with even a bad lineup. I mean the Tigers are around .500 batting 4 or 5 AAA players each game.

That ain't happening.

I have always wondered why the Tigers have so many day games. It seems like the aren't doing any fans a favor.

Absolutely...leave it to the professional team builders like Al Avila and Scott Harris.

Ramirez padding his Hall of Fame resume again tonight. Yikes.

Deadline trades for Tiger fans are what the NFL draft used to be for Lions fans...the Supe Bowl/ World Series. Just hard to get excited about getting a back up catcher or wild as hell reliever. I'd rather the Tigers just kept Flaherty. I know some posters are going to go out of their mind with ecstasy getting some teams #14th and #23rd rated prospects in return.

It's awesome that our manager is so much smarter than everyone else. Pure genius to put McKinstry in RF and sit Perez on the bench. Give the guy an extension.

Already have 2 hits this game, doubling Sunday's performance.

I don't understand why people are so eager to trade Skubal away. It's basically saying they won't compete for a few more years. And you know most of the guys they get are going to end up sucking.

It's his team. Kind of like saying a guy who owns a company has no say in how it's run, etc. If I own a company that produces a product and the product is awful, whose fault is it ultimately?

Facts are facts. You are what your record says you are in MLB. Chris Ilitch's record while owner: 466-660. I'm sorry that I am not on here venerating Ilitch. If you think he has done an amazing job, you are welcome to your opinion.

When people on the internet decide he isn't in the plans, he might as well just hang em up

If they trade Skubal, the ownership will be saying screw you to the fans.

Ilitch should be starting to put the pressure on Detroit and Michigan to build him a new stadium.
