They went the whole second half with one starting pitcher and all they've done is add Alex Cobb. Cobb is not a bad signing, but he seems like a big health risk. They are also counting on Olson being healthy which is also questionable. Expand And I don't have much confidence in Mize. Jobe didn't seem ready to me. Gipson-Long should get a look if he's healthy but- yeah - they'd look a lot better with Flaherty. Sadly, most recent speculation has him going Giants. Quote

Tiger337 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) I don't know who Tim Kelly is, but most of the Bleacher Report writers are just bloggers trying to pump out stories every day. There is nothing wrong with that. It's fun, but using them as a source is the same thing as using one of us as a source. Edited January 6 by Tiger337 1 Quote
1984Echoes Posted January 6 Posted January 6 I wouldn't use this as any kind of source or "prediction". It's simply fun to talk about... That's all. Oh... and I would definitely go for $30 mill per year to Bregman for 3 with opt outs. Get 'er done Harris! Just my 2 cents... Quote
Sports_Freak Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Right about now would be a very good time for the Tigers to make a splash. Get people excited about baseball before they spend all of their extra money on Lions gear. 😆 1 Quote

Arlington Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Just catching up on posts and saw this in the Newsweek article linked a few pages back. "They're starting to creep into the free-agent market, with Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press linking them to Alex Bregman and Anthony Santander," Rymer wrote. "Which is good, but the problem is that only one of those guys is a full-time right-handed hitter. Here's why this matters: In terms of total run value, the Tigers got +27 from the left side and -63 from the right side in 2024." Can anyone see an iota of logic in rejecting a switch-hitter because you need a right-handed bat? Truthfully, I'm kinda dumbfounded by this. Would telling Santander to bat only right-handed solve the problem? Quote
