It affects our final win-loss record. I'm on board with our offense recovering in 2023 (I don't know to what level) because it can't get any worse than it was in 2022.

mtutiger Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Tigers did pursue Segura, but South Florida was a bigger draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, mtutiger said: Tigers did pursue Segura, but South Florida was a bigger draw Segura is the latest in a series of infielders that have also been connected to the Tigers. The club also had reported interest in Adam Frazier who has now signed with the Orioles and Wil Myers who will be with the Reds in 2023. Brian Andersonwas also listed among their targets, who is still available. Now that the Tigers have missed on Segura, Myers and Frazier, they could circle back to Anderson, or look to other free agent infielders such as Josh Harrison, Donovan Solano or Rougned Odor. None of those players will likely break the bank and the Tigers should have a bit of payroll wiggle room. They are currently at $124MM, per the calculations of Roster Resource, south of the $135MM Opening Day figure they had last year, per Cot’s Baseball Contracts. It seems like no one who has literally any other options (C’mon, Reds? Jesus …) wants to come to Detroit. We will probably have to overpay substantially to get any of the remaining guys.

Tiger337 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I was thinking they might have a shot at Segura. He would have been OK, but it's not worth getting upset about missing out. I can imagine the response from Tigers fans if they sign Josh Harrison. They had him four years ago and he seemed washed up then. Now, he's going to be 35.

At least you can squint and see a little upside there versus just being a total retread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Yes, Anderson would be OK, kind a lateral move from Candelario. Edited January 2, 2023 by Tiger337 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had more insight into Harris' thinking, but regardless, there's a part of me that thinks that JHM at 3rd base may happen sooner than we all think.

chasfh Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Brian Anderson is a gimpy whifftastic hitter with doubles power who a bad defensive year last year. So, basically, a less healthy Jeimer. He could probably recover defensively, but that 90 wRC+ is probably what he's going to give whomever signs him.

Some of it is hype, but I dont think Beck is writing articles suggesting he could be the dude at 3rd if they don't think he can do it. Not saying they are right or wrong, just more that it seems like they are signaling how they will develop and use JHM.

He's only had two years of pro ball, and only half season above A ball, with a fairly high k rate, and he has done nothing (yet) to show he can stick at third. He would have to make monumental leaps this offseason to be ready for the bigs. Possible, but unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck is maybe the most conservative baseball writer ever, so I usually take him seriously. He doesn't indicate that Malloy has a chance to take over 3B soon though. He said he could be in their long-term plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
