Vlad can be a FA at the end of next season. So it would be a partial rental. And Toronto will prolly ask WAY too much for him. Maybe inquire about him but I wouldn't give up any top prospect(s) for him.

Plus I don't think we will be entertaining anymore league-worst defenders at first base.

40,000 fans gonna show Chris how bad Detroit wants a winner. After he counts all the $$ he makes, he'll loosen the purse strings and allow Harris to raise the payroll. Hey, a guy can dream, right?

I think Harris will have a fairly better payroll next year, and then a much much better payroll in 2026.

You can say alot of things about Chris but I don't think he is cheap atleast to the point where he won't spend any money to improve the team and only cares about the bottom line. He's likely never going to overspend like his Dad but I think he will spend accordingly.

I hear plenty of folks speculate that Flaherty was only signed with the specific intention to trade at the deadline, well if he was as cheap as some people make out why would he be ok with giving a pitcher 14 million dollars who was coming off a terrible season for the chance that he may not only turn it around but in turn bring back a prospect(s) who may actually turn out to be useful? He could've just as easily pocketed that 14 mill and used league minimum guys to fill that role.

Down to 6.5 games back of the Twins for the Wild Card.

And that's for the 2nd wild card. Only 5.5 games back of Boston for the 3rd wild card.

how weird would it be if they were actually buyers?

I think Northrop hit two in a game in ‘68. But I might be wrong. 

June 24th against the Tribe.

Kaline..Stanley...Horton and Northrup.  That was a deep outfield

Well, he played 3B today.  I’m generally non bunt, but I think trying it early today would have been fine.

Depends on the deal.

I don't agree. But it's just speculation on out part.

Ray Lane's call of the 2nd of Northrup's grand slams that day. 6th inning.

Tigers had a chance to hit 2 in one inning. How about a player hitting both grand slams in one inning? Amazing...only guy to EVER do that?

Hey........I was working at the Ann Arbor Art Fair all day -- why did Reese Olson only pitch 2 innings today?

Sore right shoulder. Heading back to Detroit for testing.

A fire breathing dragon swooped down from the sky and snatched him and took him to her nest somewhere in Ontario.
