Tip off tonight. Let the Krzyzewski slurpfest begin.

It seems like the AAVs for Seager and Correa are inverted, but essentially its only $2M per. They're all dancing around $30M per. That might be the neighborhood for Correa, Seager, and Story, but I have a hard time seeing that for Semien and Baez. Maybe Semien and Baez get that, but I wouldn't want the Tigers to offer it to them, not for the contract lengths that you've got there. I'd probably order the preference Correa, Seager, Story. After that, I look the trade route and/or hope that Semien/Baez fall down to around 4 year contracts.

Sure, Hinch might not want reunited with Correa. The feelings could be mutual. Ilitch/Avila might not want that that possibility of a distraction even if Correa/Hinch are kosher. Maybe they’re all good with it. Maybe the Tigers want to go with another SS for whatever reason. And along those lines, the assumption of Verlander “coming home” might not work out as some folks have assumed.

I feel stupid. And contagious.

That's Dr. Joe Rogan.

The thing that I like about the Tigers' 2022 Opening Day shortstop is that no matter who it is, someone in here is going to be angar about it.

That's true, they have kind of stuck themselves between a rock and a hard place.

Not domed. And the shelves are too far away from the customers.

That's where I am with Baez. I wouldn't consider a long term deal for him. But if the better SSs are off of the board and Baez would consider 4 years, it might be worthwhile.

But we're still in the produce aisle.

Its nice to see Brandon Inge allowed the use of his 15.

Sure, but that was also just a small sample size. His Met numbers were absolutely impressive, but it seems doubtful that that kind of output can be expected of him for a season or several.

The NFL has to suspend Rodgers for openly flouting the rules, right? This gives the league a little more time to kick the Daniel Snyder can further down the road, too, right?

You’re impressed by .299/.371/.515, eh?

We’ve seen this a bit in the NBA with one & one contracts in recent years. Now, sure, the NBA and MLB are definitely different in terms of team structure as it relates to finances and construction, but the concept is out there in pro sports.

My wife’s god daughter is to be married in Greeneville, South Carolina during The Game. The iPad will be making its way into church. The parents of the bride are from Ohio. They should understand.

I wouldn’t think so, but who knows what his team is looking to do.

I think Correa gets a Lindor contract. I think the others will fall short of 10/$340M.

The most Michigan football fan thing ever is to criticize another team’s coach for being overrated. But I guess you’ve got to take your victory laps where you can, c’est la vie.

Cincinnati should be pleased with Purdue. As long as Cincinnati remembers to take care of Tulsa today.

One would think. But the contract length is interesting. Correa just turned 27. Can he get another high AAV contract in a few years? Can he get 4 years now plus 7 or 8 years then such that the combo is better than a 10-12 year deal now? And maybe he can accomplish that by getting a long term deal with an early opt out in this off-season.

Have the Tigers specifically mentioned that Fulmer is no longer a rotation possibility?

Undefeated Wake Forest is about to be formerly undefeated Wake Forest. Still a good season for that program.

That’s funny.
