    Since this is a hot stove thread, let's think about trades. In order to get talent back, we would need to offer talent. Skubal? I would say Tork and Greene as untouchable. Same with Mize and Manning. Maybe we're all overlooking trading for a SS. Maybe with a team that signs one of the SS on the market? Just about anyone would be better than what we ran out there.

    Agreed. Just look at Grossman this season. He was much more valuable then his BA in 2021.

    I don't know. I just hear bits and pieces and usually get it wrong when I try to remember it. Did I hear age 27 or 29 to be a FA? It's still too early to hear many of the proposals, I guess. The current CBA doesn't end until December 1st.

    To me, the bigger deal is the service time. Teams hold players back just to delay their free agent status. Make it a set age and we may see talent reaching MLB at a younger age. And I also heard rumors that no more losing draft picks for signing free agents?

    I would argue that the expansion of the bullpen is, by far, the biggest change in baseball. Maybe the biggest change in any sport.
  6. Sports_Freak
    Agreed. And I hear a rumor about service time no longer counting. A players age may determines when he's a FA. If so, we may see more young talent at the ML level.

    Turnbull will be given every opportunity when he regains his health. So will Boyd, if he's still around. If the Tigers sign a SS, I don't think Kreidler will ever be given a shot, at shortstop.
  8. Sports_Freak
    No, seriously. The Tigers get competitive and there's a work stoppage? That would be horrible. I can barely wait until spring...lol
  9. Sports_Freak
    I agree. SP isn't the Tigers major need but I would take him on a minor league deal. But we really need to start working on a new CBA.
  10. Sports_Freak
    I knew that question would pop up. Faedo (sp). And that guy we just added to the 40 man roster, Olson. Turnbull will be back, along with Boyd. And Wentz. Also, a couple of guys named Rodriguez I noticed on our 40 man roster. So yeah, a few will never make it and a few may get hurt. Or not.

    It really is amazing looking at pitchers stats from the 60's and before. 300 innings? No problem..... https://www.baseball-almanac.com/pitching/piinnp4.shtml

    I heard Dombrowski say something like that when the Tigers drafted pitchers when he was still the GM. Good SP can get a lot in a trade. Maybe it's how we'll fill the SS role, someone none of us have guessed.
  13. Sports_Freak
    We have 3 or 4 guys that'll be ready in a year or 2. But yes, get more. Someone once said you can never have too much pitching.

    My pick for their 1st win is still alive. Chicago...Turkey Day. Book it.

    8-8-1??
  16. Sports_Freak
    No reason to sign a kicker. Waste of money. Just call in someone from the street. A beer vendor or something.
  17. Sports_Freak
    Oh no. Take the wind!!
  18. Sports_Freak
    8-8-1?
  19. Sports_Freak
    The Lions could still finish at 9-8. They won't but on paper they could. May as well start now.
  20. Sports_Freak
    The passes are there. If we had a QB we could win this game. Pittsburgh is struggling on offense.
  21. Sports_Freak
    11 1st half passing yards. Eleven. Wow.
  22. Sports_Freak
    Andre Ware, Joey Blue Skies.
  23. Sports_Freak
    And now for....." Remember This?" When Leyland was still manager, there was a guy in the stands who looked exactly like him. They showed him on TV and it was funny. Carry on.....
  24. Sports_Freak
    I wonder what we could get for Skubal? LH pitchers are valuable. Maybe a SS? He gives up too many home runs. But maybe a team thinks they could fix that?

    I'm still an agitator.
