Inflation up another half point to 4.2%.

You know, you could have at least left me some hope that this guy was gonna be a good option for the Tigers... 🙂

Jake Fisher reported the New Orleans only wants immediate help for Murphy, no draft picks. I still say Detroit needs to move Thompson is they give Duren a big contract . I wonder if NO would do Thompson for Murphy straight up Problem is, Murphy is about their only shooter. So I doubt Thompson would interest them much.

A no-bake cheesecake?

I don't wanna jinx it but if the Tigers sweep? We'll pass the Twinkies in the standings.

Even someone good at baking can’t finish the cake when it’s still only halfway done in the oven.

I'm not a GM. Meadows went down LAST SEASON and Harris was very, very lucky Javy was good out there. If not, we would be in the same boat as right now, no real centerfielder. Just a few utility type players to cover a very important position. And it isnt like Meadows injuries are a surprise, he's been injured more than hes been available. I agree with Harris not looking for a young and blocked player for centerfield. We have our centerfielder of the future, almost ready in Toledo. All I'm saying is he should have at least tried to bring in somebody better than a .200 hitter with limited ability in CF once Javy went down. But it is what it is, he couldn't find anyone on the waiver wire. 😅😅

Sure, let’s say. 😉

No, I would build a roster with 6 utility players and allow my manager to play players at multiple positions. Build a team of Zack McKinstrys, playing all over the field. SMH

What if someone is good at baking, but messes up the frosting?

Ok, then who is the starting center fielder is who blocked that Harris is missing by not trading for him, and who should we be trading for him?

Ah, trading for the sake of trading...

whenever I see conversations like this I think back to the caller into the old WDFN days suggesting the Pistons trade Terry Mills and Lindsey Hunter for Chris Webber. That to me is the gold standard of trade ideas.

The Tigers did make a trade this year. They acquired Zack Short for cash considerations or a PTBNL. And all you ungrateful bastards did was complain that he wasn't good enough.

The Tigers would'of clinched the top seed by now if people would listen to me, but nooooooo....., people think I'm just some moran banging nonsense into a keyboard.

Them and every other team in the league. But I think the only way they decline his option is if they have a long term deal already worked out.

IF only Freak was the Tigers GM, our troubles would be over.

I'm not a GM with access to scouting reports or other information. But it doesnt have to be all that difficult, it's actually part of a job, making trades to improve a team. What was the last trade Harris made? Charlie Morton? Hes not good at trading players, for some reason.

April/May trades are very common. I was just reading this article; https://www.si.com/mlb/dodgers/onsi/dodgers-made-4-april-trades-how-are-they-working-out

Who are these teams with good outfielders being blocked?

Gardenhire as the Tigers manager was like the gym teacher taking over your algebra class in the middle of May because the teacher had surgery... "ah, just let him do it... nobody's doing anything at this point.... doesn't matter."

Yeah, he thanks God everytime they interview him after a game. He's pretty serious about it.

Don't be silly. There are teams with outfielders being blocked at the ML level. Are you saying trades don't ever happen? Seriously? Defending Harris has gone to a whole new level. His trading ability is extremely underwhelming. Just stop and admit that he's unable to swing trades to improve the Tiger roster. Fact!!
