Injury rehab - he hurt his wrist or hand in June

I will say this is surprising

ESPN's take: Detroit Tigers: Subtracting, but not completely. For all the rightful attention lavished on Skubal, any hope of acquiring him would require the sort of overpay almost no one is willing to consider. Teams instead can turn to right-hander Jack Flaherty, the biggest snub of All-Star week. His excellence this season is beyond question, whether it's via ratios (11.5 strikeouts per nine and 1.5 walks per nine) or baserunners (one of nine starters allowing fewer than one per inning), and he would pencil into the playoff rotation of any team that adds him. The calculus with Flaherty is simple: The offer must be stronger than what the Tigers could get with a draft pick in the early 30s, which they'd get if Flaherty signs a large free agent deal as expected. (And the Tigers have drafted very well in recent years.) Like Flaherty, veteran Mark Canha is an impending free agent whose market is robust, and infielder Gio Urshela is a cheap break-glass-in-case-of-emergency option for contenders. The Tigers have taken steps forward this year -- since May 1, rookie Colt Keith is hitting .293/.345/.486 -- and a good deadline is the next order of business before loading up this winter to contend in a suddenly competitive AL Central. Interesting that Canha has a robust market. He has been getting hot lately.

Agreed. He's also over 30 so not a core player.

My bets on trades are Flaherty, Kelly, Chafin, Ibanez and Vest get moved. Flaherty is paired with Ibanez and shipped to Atlanta. Kelly is moved to SDP and Chafin and Vest are moved to Baltimore or Philly.

Waiting to trade Kelly at the deadline.

Tork and Dingler with a HR tonight so far.

I'll take a Starlyn Caba or Aiden Miller please.

Rainer comes in at 91 so Tigers have 6 in the top 100.

Toledo Mud Hens transferred RHP Wilmer Flores from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Not surprising but must be clearing spots

WM is tomorrow's free game of the day

I need an update on everyone's driveway!

Yeah honestly I was expecting a 250-500K over slot.

Morosi has ties to Detroit so I wonder if he's just stirring the pot or knows something is happening behind the scenes

I would be shocked if we didn't see Rainer in Lakeland. Yeah, the other two make sense, but Rainer will at least get a taste of pro ball.

James Paxton you are a Detroit Tiger 😅

Under slot too which is surprising.

Doing due diligence I am sure, should also note they were playing the Brewers AAA team which may want Flaherty.

While I am happy they were moved up to be challenged a bit more I am a little sad because with them moving up and out of the FSL we lose access to savant data as the MWL does not have that currently.
