I don't think he pitched well enough this year to earn his option in arbitration and the option will be declined.

On the topic of saving money, very preliminary calculations show Riley Greene being well short of arbitration status. Your arb guys this year are... Tarik Skubal Casey Mize (if option declined) Jake Rogers Will Vest Zach McKinstry Jason Foley Matt Vierling Andy Ibanez Beau Brieske (probably) Riley Greene (doubtful) Akil Baddoo (if he spends three more days in MLB)

White Sox can't pick higher than 10th because they got a lottery pick this year and are revenue sharing payers.

More than "might." I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I'd say that's even probable.

I'm going Sunday. Brother lives in the area and his boys have never been to an MLB game, so it's going to be their first. We are operating under the assumption tickets to see that White Sox team will not be cost prohibitive.

My read of the contract means it vests automatically if he hits that or has a player option if he doesn't. But I could be wrong.

Double that and you are at least in the ballpark of their asking price. Verlander will have a 35M player option he would have to turn down to be a free agent.

Glad to see McKinstry die a hero.

Out of options next year of guys currently on the 40-man: McKinstry, Wentz, Faedo. Maybe Madris if he spends 20 days in Toledo.

This is his final option season, but he should be eligible for a fourth option. A lot of guys will be thanks to the lost 2020 year.

Agreed 100% on Flipowski/Rupar/etc. A majority of the tweets in here are from accounts I've muted/blocked that have made my Twitter timeline so much more tolerable in this, a year divisible by 4.

Waiting on Harris to say how rough things were when he took over sitting next to his predecessor's son.

I'm reading Verlander's contract differently. His option won't vest, but he still has a player option he would be foolish to decline.

Ibanez has a role on a lefty heavy team, which the team projects to be. And he won't be expensive as an Arb1. I would keep him around.

It's always projection. Always.

The Tigers' issues with injuries come from the fact that the depth got hurt this year. Manning, Flores, SGL, Leonard, Kreidler, etc. That isn't going to be factored into the Fangraphs analysis.

Everything from the MAGA right has always been projection, so you mean to tell me after all their heartless dementia attacks on Biden their guy was battling similar?

With absolutely zero evidence, if Harris wins, the whackjobs will try to pin this on her.

I... may need to change my club/bag/ball brand of choice.

They are shots in the dark, but some are more educated than others. Some have scouting contacts. Some see them in person, and more importantly, know what they are looking for. Some are fed pitch/swing tracking data. BA, for example, has a lot of good information, but put an influencer in charge of their Tigers coverage, so their Tigers rankings can be taken with a grain of salt.

With all due respect, who is JustBaseball?

A bunch of cuts, see the transactions logs. The why there is draft picks count against the Domestic Reserve List two weeks after they sign. We should see some of them in Lakeland soon.
