You're preaching to the choir. 😅

The Tigers acquired 4 pitchers right around the trade deadline. Rafael Montero, Charlie Morton, Kyle Finnegan, Chris Paddack. One of them did a good job (Finnegan) and was signed for 2026. 2 of then sucked and were released. And the other one is a free agent. There are a few prospects that our POBO is hanging his hat on to save any credibility in many fans eyes. He hasn't helped the Major League team with his trades or free agent signings. If these prospects don't pan out....well, I won't go there. These kids HAVE to make a big impact in the next couple of years.

There were a few years when Miggy would come to bat with guys on base and I would wonder why they were even pitching to him. More often than not (it seemed) he would knock in some of the runners. And many people underestimate how Cabrera will be remembered. I guarantee every time a player gets close to winning a triple crown, the baseball world will say Cabrera was the last player to do it. Just like Yaz was talked about during/after the Miggy triple crown season.

Who had games on streaming last season? Wasn't it Amazon Prime? Apple TV? I hope these NBC and Peacock games are on local NBC channels in the Detroit market.

It really woulda been great if the team he deserted played for a Natty.

The Miami quarterback has played 6 years of college football? What a joke....

But 6th in the AL. In December. Meaningless...

It was probably the most stupid contract the Tigers ever gave. It will be discussed for years, Cobb was planning to retire until he was offered crazy money... Please....nobody tell the Tigers that Bonderman is working on a change-up. $10 million would get his outta retirement....😅😅

Apparently, the article i read was incorrect. It's changed today to say the other players the Tigers settled with to avoid arbitration. It does list the money offered and the money asked for Skubal. I hope he wins or they settle before any hearings. There was a time when the Tigers players never made it to arbitration...years.

Wasn't there something like a $50,000 difference in his asking and the Tigers offering? Kinda weird....50 grand is nothing to either of them....

He probably didn't want it hanging over his head. But I was surprised to hear he's never had a regular season short handed goal.

Not really. The Tigers still have 3 choices. Trade him, keep him thru 2026 and then let him walk, or extend him to a huge and long term contract. Skubal and Boras may make it 2 choices by not wanting an extension but I dont see that happening. Not if the Tigers meet his demands. My choice would be to extend him. If it's for 10 years and north of $400 million? It's not my money...

They settled before the arbitration hearing?

Kane gets goals 499 and 500!!

I like what Harris has done with the bullpen. He has 3 closers for Hinch to mix and match. Hopefully, we'll be like KC was several years ago and shorten games up. Having a lead going into the 6th inning would mean a win in most games. Bullpens really do decide many of the games these days...

Serial killer vibes...😆😆

Is he considered a very good offensive coach? I didnt know that. I have heard speculation that the Lion OC job is very desirable because of all of our talent. The Lions should have their pick of the very best coaches...

Based on my vast knowledge from watching CSI:NY...cities bring charges against murderers. But yeah, that's wrong. I say just dox the guy, let the public get their 5 pounds of flesh...

Ohhhh...I didnt know the state couldn't charge him. That makes sense and you're correct, we all know Trump would pardon a thug murderer. I guess the only hope is to dox the son of a bitch and get him name and address out there on social media. Make him wish he was snug as a bug locked up in a cell...😅😅

A real police officer is trained to NEVER stand or walk in front of a running car. Ever...for any reason. An untrained Proud Boy thug? Well, he's probably not that bright in the 1st place.

Maybe a Tigers team wouldn't be in a position to draft him? Didn't we lose almost 100 games to draft him and Max Clark? These guys are huge prospects that many baseball people rank very highly. Hopefully they both work out, unlike another high draft pick, Jace Jung...

Climate change is a hoax? And yet, for the 2nd year in a row, I'm outside raking leaves in...January. Our president is an idiot.

Hindsight...somebody claimed baseball executives had more knowledge about players than the average fan....or something along those lines. The average Tiger fan saw the stats and were not too happy with trading for those players. And it didnt cost us much? It cost us any possibility of hanging onto first place and possibly getting a bye. So yeah, Scott Harris made moves, not that improvesld our major league team, but actually hurt us.

Not even gonna bother. Harris does no wrong in your eyes. If Avila made the same moves, you would be fine with them. Right?
