2022 Trade Deadline

[SoCalTiger]

Why help the twins for Gods sake just on principal alone if you can't get anything better than a never will be player.

[1776]

I wish Grossman and Fulmer the best. Fulmer had a pretty good run here considering his injuries. Any player that can get out from under this dumpster fire is better off.

[MichiganCardinal]

Just swap out "4th grade me" for Chris Illitch or Al Avila.

"I wouldn't necessarily say I'm like the sharpest tool in the shed."

 - Sawyer Gipson-Long,

Super encouraging.

Good for pared,,,good for Fulmer..good for Grossman..to heck with that what about good for the Tiger fans. Yes I am happy for them and really liked Fulmer but not enough to hope the Twins win the World Series.

How much you wanna bet Fulmer pitches an immaculate inning against us tonight?

The least he could do is give up four hits in a row.

Well he was gone either way. This way at least you get something albeit crappy

[Jim Cowan]

That's something that gets overlooked when people are talking about how good the Tigers' bullpen is...they don't get to pitch against the Tigers.

I have nothing against Sawyer Gipson-Long and wish him success in this org. At the very least, that side of the house has Fetter and Co, so maybe they can fix him or turn him into something 

The ire should be directed at the General Manager. Who had multiple opportunities during past seasons to get more for Fulmer than he did today.

Current resume of Sawyer Gipson-Long:

So he starts for us on Friday?

[1776]

Wow, the Cardinals sent Harrison Bader to the Yankees. He seemed like the Cardinal prototype. They needed pitching more than I realized I guess.

True but  hard to believe someone better somewhere could not be found ?

[chasfh]

There were some other bad returns on trades besides just ours. The Cubs got a bag of balls for Dave Robertson, and they didn’t move Contreras or Happ at all. 

[romad1]

Nothing can be saved from this season.  It must just END.  

Al Avila must go.

[Motor City Sonics]

Who did they get for Fulmer?   Bruno Puntz-Jones ?

That's the problem

But no reasons to say I wish we would have just kept him. At least now we got a guy to crap on in thr minors thread.

The draft is over.

The trade deadline is over

End it tomorrow.   

Why do we need to wait until October.   Lets get a head start now.

Was being squeezed out. Free agents after next year. 2 young outfield the other is O'Neil at 27. Then they might try Gorman out there and have Corey Dickerson on the roster.

[Tigeraholic1]

I will be tuning into Miggy and Greene AB’s. The rest of my summer/fall will be watching Dan Campbell and Co. bite knee caps and fish for turds in the toilet.

The Robertson trade is a pretty good parallel in terms of the prospect returned relative to performance.

[mtutiger]

Well, hopefully Chafin's arm doesn't fall off this offseason since we're liable to be back here one year from now needing to deal him.

Hopefully with someone else doing the job.

[Tigermojo]

I'm ok with Chafin if he wants to be here next year. He does his job well and I like the failed starter t-shirts.

[Dtrain72]

You guys are cute, all thinking Chris would ever fire Al...Chris was born on home plate with no ridges in his brain; Al's gonna work him for every penny he can get...only way Al goes is if he actually resigns.  Al may very well still be GM in 2030, orchestrating his 4th rebuild from rebuilding the rebuild he previously failed rebuilding prior to the 1st rebuild.

[Dtrain72]

On sidenote re the Fulmer trade, I'm just glad he's gone...good dude, but he was cashed out here.  Only wish there was a way to replace 90% of the roster...
