Skipper lined up at TE last week. He even dropped a pass. 😆

Either get back a huge haul or keep Skubal. Trying to get teams to bid each other up doesn't seem to work. It really seems like it would though...

I'll make this kinda simple and let it be the end of it. If it weren't for Al Avila, the Tigers wouldn't have made the playoffs the last 2 seasons. And if so, the heat on Harris would be suffocating. His seat would be SO hot, his pants would catch fire. Does that mean I like the job Avila did? No way, I wanted him fired when he extended Brad Ausmus. But it's Al's players and manager who got us into the playoffs, in spite of Harris not bringing in any help.

Vierling, McKinstry and Torres? Who else ya got? 2 utility players and a player who fell into our lap? 2nd base wasn't really a position of need but we sure could use a 3rd baseman...

I heard Alex Cobb is available for $15 million per year again this season.

He only wants white people?

The Democrats catching Secretary Noem in outright lies was glorious. Showing videos of her blatant lies was perfect. One senator even told her to resign or she was going to be impeached. The democrats will make America great again as soon as they retake power and start impeaching members of this corrupt administration.

You never know, he may be returned from Colorado, pitching there can be a....challenge. But yeah, he was the 1st player taken. He throws 97...

If Saleh wants to coach college, yes please.

OK...they just said the Wings have won 3 straight in Calgary but before that they lost 6 straight. Those are the ones I remember. 😒

I would take it one step further. If Avila wouldn't have hired Hinch, the Tigers very well may not have made the playoffs the last 2 years. And Harris would be feeling a lot of heat from the media and fans. Most casual fans don't see the good he has done in rebuilding our barren farm system. They just see his lack of moves that could have helped our ML team. He has to put up or shut up this off-season, he has a playoff team that just needs a couple of pieces to seriously contend.

It seems like the Wings always struggle in Calgary. But they've been playing really good recently.

Did the girl at the window ask "where's the beef?"

The Tigers last championship final needed part was acquired at the end of spring training. But yeah, needed pieces are added at the trade deadline, sometimes.

Or he could be more like JV and pitch into his 40's. We already know just how good he can be, he's not a prospect, he's an established star. We need him and a few more like him.

What? You didn't like letting Candelario walk and acquiring Nick Maton to anchor 3rd base? You're pretty hard to please....😆

Yeah, he's 44 years old but he has 10 kids!! All with one woman? E-gads, how does she walk? 9 months of being pregnant X 10 children? 90 months of being pregnant. 90 months = 7.5 years.

We've all seen "can't miss" prospects fail. Or get seriously injured. Skubal is an established star who has performed at an elite, All Star, Cy Young, level. Try to get him on an 8 year contract. Our payroll can handle it, especially with the "cant miss" prospects coming in under team control for several years.

Philip Rivers has signed with the Colts. He's 44 years old and has 10 children. He's also a grandfather. And he's 4 years older than the Colts head coach.

America loves America's team.....and the Cowboys;

Hopefully, Harris will sign the players he drafted to long term contracts. At least, the ones who become stars. Let all of these Avila picks walk, Al Avila destroyed this franchise anyway. 😆

Or a minor league team when their better players are moved up in an organization or traded. Its probably easier on those fans these days when it's possible to follow just about any team you want. Back in the day, you could only follow their progress in The Sporting News. But with the internet and streaming capabilities, a fan can follow any them/player they want. We're living in a golden day for sports viewing. 😁

Agreed. We can keep some of the better players but having 6 to 8 really high priced players probably won't be happening again. The Tigers are a mid-market team that has a payroll of a small market team. Very good for the bottom line but not so much for fans.

Its a very good business model. Replace experienced and very expensive players with young and talented players who make millions of dollars less and are under team control for several years. Tampa has been doing it for years, with pretty good results. Baseball salaries are an overhead in the business side of baseball and overhead in any business is a killer of profits.
