We're gonna need a bigger boat?

At least he didn't ALL CAPS you.

Might as well kick the Royals' collective ass.

I ain’t arguing with QUAN.

That’s true, but I’m more interested in him being ready for the quality of batters he’ll face and lasting the season without burning out.

And the better stadium lights.

Starters innings for SP on the Opening Day roster should be 150+. I’m not saying he’ll stay in Toledo all season. Just keep him there in April, limit his innings, he can be among the first call ups if/when needed.

Madden has been spectacularly awful in Toledo.

I can’t see Jobe starting out the season in Detroit. If anything, maybe they take the Paul Skenes route of shorter outings in Toledo early without burning him up before the season ends. He hasn’t pitched even 100 innings in a season yet. They’ll need a top half rotation SP and a mid tier SP. Skubal, SP, SP, Olson. Maeda can try to earn the 5th spot. Jobe, Montero, and Gipson-Long in Toledo. Probably need another AAAA type or two in Toledo. I’d leave the RP returnees in the BP. I’m not all that interested in stretching out Faedo, or Brieske, or Holton. And they’ll need reinforcements, too. They have had quite a number of rookies this season. Might as well add Meadows to that, too, he’s pretty much a rookie for all intents and purposes. Hopefully they can keep their heads above water to finish out the season and maybe trim down the offensive wish list over the offseason.

I read a little bit about Sweeney, and maybe he is the new McKinstry. It seemed a lot of commentary about him being a LHH utility type. Liranzo could be a huge addition if they can get him to hit with more contact. Easier said than done, but it sounds like the power comes kind of easily. And if catching duties become reduced via automated strike zone, than that’s one less thing to worry about if stays behind the dish. And supposedly he has a strong arm, but the throwing motion needs work. I don’t know. Guess we’ll find out eventually.

Three guys off of the 40 and none of the returning guys are on it, so there’s room to maneuver there.

That seems like a less than glowing report on his defense.

Fine, just send all 4 Dodger prospects mentioned.

“Kendall George is a 90 runner on a 20-80 scale.” Guess we’re going to have to dig out the old Nook Logan jokes.

He’s going to moonwalk out to the podium. “You MTFers didn’t think I had it in me, did ya? How ya like me now?”

James McCann will fix that.

Quite the find, there.

Has he been hugged?

Who is freaking out? What, me worry?

They need to broadcast more team handball and rugby 7s. Those look like fun.

Looks like a starting pitcher in return.

Don't forget the "you've been traded" hug.

No more Jose Ramirez this season? That's fine.

That's going to be a haul to/from the family farm.

Don't the Tigers schedule day games for the last game of the series by default? This one seems odd because both teams are off tomorrow and at home on Thursday.
