You will feel better after all the rich people watch the Tigers win the World Series.

It takes two to tango. I wonder if Harris is willing but the difference in demand is too much.

Personally, I wouldn't be disappointed without too much trade action on our part. I get the disappointment in Montero since he isn't one of the big names (and has sucked for the past couple of years). But I have to believe that Harris and Fetter and Hinch see how his strengths could be exploited and his weaknesses can be minimized to benefit us. If they are right, then great for us. If they are wrong, then we haven't sacrificed much of our future and have some internal possibilites that could help. Bullpens pieces are so fickle that working with what we have could be just as good as mortgaging the future for a big name.

Really, really, really want to win

Something very strange is going on here...could it be illuminati involvement?

Looks like we are having a difficult time signing those odd numbers: rounds 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 17, 19 still unsigned. 18 is the only even number unsigned.

Another must win game...

Must win!

If they do this, I want to have the batboys be the ones hitting. First one to hit a home run wins. #NowItMatters

Just tuned into this thread for the first time, so sorry if this has already been said... I hate the All-Star game and the break! I hate it that I don't have Tigers baseball for FOUR DAYS! I hate it that the Tigers almost never play on my birthday because of the dumb All-Star game! (...rant over...)

I wonder if they gave Cal Raleigh a ride or made him catch his own flight after that 2-homer night...

I agree. But with them added, are we satisfied with one swing and miss addition only?

If the rotation is shortened to 3 or 4 in the playoffs, then Montero and SGL could be moved to the bullpen displacing folks like Hanifee and Lee. Does that give make us feel at all better about the bullpen? Does that affect who/how many relievers we try to add at the deadline?

Watch it, that kind of joke could get you fired. Sincerely, Jack Morris

If Harris trades for Skenes, I believe it will be to help this season AND to be free to trade Skubal during the offseason before he becomes a free agent. So, whatever high cost it takes to get Skenes will be offset by whatever return we get from Skubal (minus the worth of the comp pick we would get for letting him walk). That offset might mean making a deal is possible.

Yes it is. Fun read. Thanks for sharing it!
