Are the Wings being linked to ANYONE, via free agency or trade?

I’d have signed Dobson to that contract if he was a UFA and no assets required. Or I would gladly give up asp, #13 and Mazur if a more modest contract. But doing both combined seems like too much for me.

Pretty steep, both in assets given up and extension $.

Tuesday will see a number of 40-pt players sign more lucrative contracts.

Shocking, really.

This is incredible for value for the Leafs.

Here comes grumpy pants me to say both look horrible. No LCA needed across the top, no LCA needed across the bottom, no Hockeytown needed. Just the logo is plenty.

Cleveland, KC or Minnesota would have to be the best or very nearly the best team in MLB the rest of the way. Looking only at Cleveland, because they're 2.5 up on Minnesota and 3 up on KC, the Guardians would need to go 51-32 (.614) in their final 83 games to get to 91-71. The Tigers and Dodgers are tied for the best record in baseball and both have gone 51-31 to start the year, no other team is closer than 2.5 games to that. The Tigers are going to win the AL Central division comfortably; my concern that will be keep me interested in the standings all summer is that the Tigers stay ahead of either Houston (2.5 games behind the Tigers currently) or the AL East leader (NY Yankees 4.0 games behind the Tigers currently, Tampa 4.5) in order to get a bye into the ALDS.

Tigers are 13-10 so far for the month of June. 12 home games, 11 road games. Funny, I would have been a bit of disappointed in that at the beginning of the month, given what seems to have been a favourable schedule, but it's still .565 ball for the month, or 92 win pace for the month.

A win for Dietrich from Frankfort (Illinois).

Tigers win! Only the 2nd outing for Vest since the injury scare 11 days. But has retired all 6 batters combined in those 2 appearances, 4 of them on strikeouts.

7 or more runs for the 6th time in past 12 games.

And Copp's injury in late February happened to coincide with the Wings' slide the rest of the way.

I was worried for no reason. Routine fly ball and a double play and the Tigers Enns-cape the 3rd without allowing a run.

The number 8 and 9 hitters get on for the A's to start the 3rd. Not good.

Especially if the Canucks and Demko work out an extension, which I had previously thought was less than 50/50. https://canucksarmy.com/news/dreger-progress-been-made-multi-year-extension-between-demko-vancouver-canucks-silovs-could-play

Failure to get the out on the stolen base bites the Tigers.

What a difference in 3 years. I get ill seeing that ‘22 lineup.

If the Tigers go on to win the World Series this season, I might look back on the June night when Wenceel had 2 putouts the same inning and ended the game with a sliding catch the same way I look back on the June night in ‘84 when Dave Bergman’s long at-bat culminated in a walkoff home run.
