Tiger337 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I don't think we'd be happy if the Tigers signed Jimenez for three years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edman85 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 They will HAVE to do something by Monday, since they are going to be over 40 on the 40-man once all the 60-Day IL'ers come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gilmore Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Max Muncy had been mentioned as a possible FA at 3B to bridge things while the youngsters get up to speed. He is reported to be signing a two year extension with the Dodgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIguy Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I just want to hear that Baez has opted out and then everything else is gravy. Yes, I am aware there is pretty much zero chance of that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman85 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) 10 hours ago, Toddwert said: interesting who's getting the big Cut? Well... Assuming Eduardo opts out, Baez stays, the free agents move the 40-man down to 37. Activating Alexander, Greene, Meadows, Mize, Pacheco gets you to 42. You have to cut 2. If you want to protect Keider Montero, you need to drop 3. If you ask me, I'd say Andrew Vasquez, Trey Wingenter, Tyler Nevin, and Brenan Hanifee... But I could be wrong. You can't outright Kelly or Meadows, so you have to wait to non-tender them. Pacheco also makes sense as a non-tender, and not an outright, due to how minor league contracts work after an outright. Anybody injured or added to the 40 man after August 15 needs to be outrighted by roster protection deadline or non-tendered if you are going to remove them before spring training. Also, anybody who is eligible for minor league free agency needs to be outrighted before that deadline too, or else you are paying them major league money in the minor leagues next year.

Jim Cowan Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 It's hard to think of a scenario where a 40 man spot is used on Nevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious D Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I hope they protect Wenceel, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I doubt either Wingenter or Nevin are likely to make us regret letting them go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermojo Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Nevin's dad broke out at age 28 for three good years. Tyler will be 27 next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of this fan base falls in love with sub-par players and then they get cut they act like we just cut Mike Trout .... how many old friends stories are we going to get from this off season...do other fan bases do this? it so annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman85 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 1. Wenceel Perez is already on the 40-man. 2. For all the people clamoring for players in Toledo based on their AAA Numbers this year, Nevin was .326/.400/543 there this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatkoVarda Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 did anyone do a deep dive into why AAA numbers were so bonkers in 2023? or maybe it does not need a deep dive, and it is as simple as "the pitching sucked" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Chris McCoskey and Evan Woodbery, they seem way more interested in covering people that are no longer on the Tigers than the actual team.

Shades of Deivi Cruz Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Seems like priority one if we want to be WS winners next year is to somehow sign Will Smith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
