It’s a shame Harris hadn’t been informed of his desire to stay on the east coast. 🙄

This is a whiff by Harris...

Seems to be ... at the moment ...

Let's talk in half an hour or so.

I'm good with that.

It ain't over till it's over...

So many assumptions, so little direct knowledge.

And LA is a great pitchers ball park. I don't know how stuck he would be. Even if he doesn't pitch well, he can still opt out and sign a one year deal with an East Coast team and rebuild his trade value - if the geopgraphy means that much to him. The Tigers are probably going to be terrible the rest of the way, he's not likely to add to his opt out value by staying here.

Is it? I'm not as up on park effects as I once was, but last I remember this wasn't as true as widely believed.

So if this is the case, why deal with LA? Why even have a conversation? I can’t wait to hear what Harris says about this. 

You take a chance, LA may have been the best deal, it's a contender. If that fails you go to plan B. 
 

It's like selling a house. You take the best offer, but occasionally the buyer pulls out for some reason..you move on. I assume Harris has been keeping the agents in the loop.

Have the Yankee make any moves. Possible east coast team in play.

They don't leak information easy, so it's plausible for sure.

IDK what will happen, but there are other teams in the market who haven't made moves yet. We will see.

Baltimore makes a lot of sense

Someone likes Scott Harris.

This is the kind of thing that helps get decent players interested in coming to Detroit.

We're all just hearing about this now, so we assume it just happened, but LA and Det may have known it for days.

0.894 for scoring. Good for 28th place this year. 

Day games not so much but night games in SoCal will be cooler than most other places in mid-summer.

CA does get a lot of El Nino effect, so it's going to get less predictable as climate cycles get more erratic.

How much of our current payroll must we shed before we can offer good players contracts? Nobody will want to come here if we don't offer them a competitive contracts.

If the question is "must" the answer is "none"

There's no possible way that the two teams knew this for DAYS but still spent all this time trying to hammer out a deal.

What a colossal waste of time for both teams if they KNEW this but still wasted time working on a deal.

Seriously?

Shedding $30 million in one fell swoop this winter should help.

Maybe they weren't?

The Tigers, particularly under Harris, really don't have any info leaks... I'm assuming the leak came from the Dodgers side and, subsequently, maybe they were the ones exerting the Lions share of effort to somehow make this happen.

Who says they "wasted all this time trying to hammer out a deal"? You? Some reporter? How do YOU know when they negotiated?

Eduardo to Boston for Marcello Mayer, and we throw in Jackson Jobe.
