I’d rather see baseball players than one trick ponies.

Was that the Fort Wayne Mad Ants?

Exactly. There’s the “equation” of a trade. And who is going to offer what right now? Is it better than a compensation pick? But there’s also 2026 to consider. The Tigers are a playoff team with Skubal. Any playoff team can win the World Series. I get wanting to move a one season guy for possible future production.. but it seems to me like they should take advantage of being a playoff team now. It was a tough time getting back to the postseason. Take another shot at the ring with a top of the league pitcher whilst he’s still here in Tiger clothes.

I’m fine with 2/$35M. Can we move this forward, please?

I think I would trust Bassitt to pitch more quality innings than Olson, Anderson, Madden, Melton, Montero, and Gipson-Long combined.

That's $240M less for the Dodgers to spend o. Skubal.

Why not wear both?

Agree. A group of Olson, Anderson, Madden, Melton, Keider, and Gipson-Long is not to be trusted for two plus SP slots. Bassitt is a good option at this point to cover one of those spots.

Snow. Hate it. What was s’posed to be a dusting overnight has turned into 3 or 4 inches of fluffy bull**** by dinner. And it ain’t done.

I like seeing the Tigers have two in the top ten. When in doubt, draft the middle of the field position players, SS and CF.

Hold on, Boston signed Ranger Suarez to play 3B? What a dumb idea.

Quarter zips are comfortable, especially fleece ones over a polo in the wintertime.

That’s no fun.

Crazy is better than lazy.

Why only August? Why not September?

Just remember, 'Murica voted on policy, not personality.

Jim Harbaugh to Baltimore Ravens, John Harbaugh to the UofM, Ryan Day to San Diego Chargers?

They get a bit too silly together at times. Dirks doesn’t seem to be off the rails with Dickerson. Likewise, Petry isn’t completely stoic with Benetti, but keeps himself more inbounds than Dirks.

At the very least, he isn’t helping his trade value.

Where does Hoerner fit with the Tigers? Savant is unkind to his arm, so SS/3B doesn't seem a fit. 2B is spoken for. He doesn’t SO much, I like that.

I think it was understandable for Ivey to start out his season slowly or rusty or whatever. But I’ve got to think he should be past that by now. Last night was an opportunity to shoulder a significant part of the load and it didn’t happen. At the very least he should be looked to as a significant piece of the offense when Cunningham is on the bench in a game he plays, but that just hasn’t materialized yet this season. Someone else said he doesn’t seem to have the same speed or quickness as he had before. I think he does, but it certainly seems like it isn’t used as often as in the past or maybe as often as it could be used. Maybe he’s lost that physically or maybe he he’s not back physically/mentally? I don’t know.

Remember way back when face coverings were considered weak?

I kind of wonder if Olson might have a healthier career as a RP? It’s probably lazy thinking, but maybe he’s just not going to be able to have a SP career.

Maybe 2024 was his weird season?
