There is no such thing as an excess of pitching. You can never ever have too much pitching especially now with starters throwing fewer and fewer innings as time goes on. There is such a thing as a shortage of position players and a better supply of pitchers relative to position players.

Turnbull is one of those dudes who is probably more valuable to the team he's already on than anything they could hope to get in return for him.

And we'll drive rocket cars like George Jetson

Seeing eye goal!

I meant even taking him out earlier than he would in a normal blowout win.

Like a good 4-1 team with a two-game lead in the division that should probably win but will survive a road loss.

Maybe he gets traded for another player in a comparable situation? I don’t know who that would be nor if there is a comparison to begin with. Maybe he is used as a throw in for a bat? It seems like they should add a proven bat with some sort of multi season control at either 2B or 3B. Or maybe even SS and push Baez to 2B, although that seems tough to see happening. I know there’s a lot of thought that Keith and Jung can be assigned to 2B / 3B one way or another and it’ll be fine going forward. While there’s talk about pitching being a strength, maybe LHH hitting IFs with questionable defensive assignments are a surplus to deal from? Maybe it makes sense to move one for a more defensive IF without punting on offense?

Fabbri out with an injury (shocker)

Turnbull has barely pitched for three years and he is 30. I don't think about him much.

I think we’re really underestimating Skubal’s trade value. Performance-wise, he was elite last season. And he has a reasonable salary. Any concerns would be health-related. His value is higher than ERod’s was, and apparently LA was willing to send us an attractive package for a potential rental. I’d expect that (plus) for Skubal).

i finally got a chance to watch the game and was pretty impressed with detroit. they outplayed jersey for a lot of the game. the passing looked good, they outshot them for most of the game, played physical. jersey is a good team and hughes has turned into what a #1 pick is supposed to be. i was encouraged with detroit's play, fwiw.

29-0 when I stopped following and didn't give it another thought ...until I saw the headline this morning!

If Malloy ends up starting for the Tigers at third base on March 28, either he’s had a defensive epiphany over the winter, or our plans at that position have gone very, very wrong.

Nothing worse than “I know I saw one in there rolling around the bottom a few days ago…”. I’ve cleared the fridge many times searching. Throwing out expired dressings, cream cheese, God knows what”. a close second is seeing a can and assuming it’s one of mine then I grab it and it’s a cider or something.

Yep

So take some reading and comprehension classes since you seem to be unable to distinguish these differences.

I liked Casty when he was a Tiger, I liked him when he was a Red, and I like him on the Phillies. Just something about him clicks with me, and makes me appreciate him as a player and a person. Here he is explaining why Scooby Do is his favorite superhero. 🤣

If they throw in Tatis, I can get on board. We could also sweeten it with Wingeter to make it a no-brainer for them.

I don't see a world where Manning has much trade value.

This is hilarious! BTW does anybody know what breed of dog that is cause I totally want one now.
