2024 - 2025 Detroit Tigers Offseason
Motor City Sonics replied to AlaskanTigersFan's topic in Detroit Tigers
This argument about rather having an ace pitcher or a superstar position player How about having 3 really good starters and a whole lineup of above average players. That'll take you just as far. If Parker Meadows is the second half guy from last year, when you add Greene, Carpenter and hopefully Max Clark - our outfield looks like it's in great shape. The infield is a bunch of question marks. We don't really know what Colt Keith is yet or if he can manage first base. We don't have any long term player, other than that, in the infield. We really hope that Jace Jung, Kevin McGonigle and Bryce Rainer can all work out, but we typically see that when you have 3 highly-regarded prospects that are a couple years away that you're lucky if one of them turns out to be a good player. If you look at any Preseason Baseball America top 10 prospects list from the past, if 3 out of the Top 10 prospects work out, you're doing an amazing job. Of course, just our luck that just as Rainer and McGonigle are ready to come up in 2027 and be the new Alan & Lou, there won't be a season. I've seen it online about implementing a salary cap, the question is Would you be willing to sacrifice a 2027 season to have that happen? That'll be just our luck, because when you look at this roster, that's about the time everything should be coming together (hoping that Jobe works out and we'll get a good haul for Skubal, who will be getting paid 50 million a year by the Dodgers or Mets. -

Tigers have a number and a length they are willing to give and I am sure there is a little wiggle room on the number, but they are sticking to it and so we wait for who caves first. -

I think that is exactly what's going on because nobody is coughing up the money Bregman and Boras are seeking. Looking more desperate. -

Or his buddies in Houston are trying to pump up his value to the Tigers, who are the only team actually considering Bregman now and the Tigers aren't biting. -

Yes they will..........Jackson Jobe will still be under team control for several years. -

Yes, but even before so many went down, the pass rush kind of disappeared after Hutch got hurt. Too reliant on one guy.
-
Maybe a new D-Line Coach and new DC will help too.

Didn't watch one second today and I won't watch one second of the Scripted Bowl
-
Please Prove Me Wrong, Josh. Please, for America ! You know this game is coming down to a call by the refs because the NFL desperately wants Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl
-
Haven't watched a second of football today But, for all the heroics and stats and MVP talk, Josh Allen is just a big choker.

I am rooting for Washington For one reason-- Daniel Snyder is a horrible human being and their success is pissing him off. That's it. And I hate Philly fans.
-
Someone did, but very briefly. At the very least he should have been knocked on his arse. I am guessing that if it hadn't been the end of the game it might have been different.

Tampa comes here February 8th. If a Wings player doesn't go after Kucherov in the first period of the game, then the Wings are weak. He needs to answer. I don't care if Ras is really hurt seriously or not. Can't ever let a guy do you like that. Don't care if there is a suspension, you MUST send a message that kind of garbage won't be tolerated. I'm still pissed about it. Obviously.

I remember when I worked in Cincinnati, and there was the time that our morning guy "Dr. Johnny Fever" and our night guy, who we called "Venus Fly Trap" and our Program Director Andy all stayed overnight in horrible winter conditions the night before the Bengals-Chargers "Freezer Bowl" game. It was strange. We never ever saw or ran in to any of the other DJs -- ever. It's almost like they didn't exist and our radio station building was so strange. There would be windows to the outside that didn't make logistical sense when you mapped out the layout of the radio station. You would open a door to our "bullpen" and the would be this large room where we all hung out, but then from the hallway there would be a window to the outside where that room would have been...........Very trippy place. Good times -
Someone needs to kick Kucharov's ass. I am disappointed that nobody on our team took a shot at him. That's weak. You need to speak for your teammate there, boys. Can't let him do that and just skate away.

When I worked in radio, I had 3 different occasions where I lived at the radio station for a few days because of weather. Pretty much the whole airstaff (the ones who didn't have kids) just stayed at the station. Watched videotapes, played cards, played other games --------- and there MAY have been drinking involved. Ssssshhh, don't tell the FCC. -

This popped up in my You Tube "Recommended" feed. It's a newscast from Toledo's Channel 11 News from the Blizzard of 1978. Very interesting how they presented the news from the actual news room and not a set. The Weather "corner" was quite interesting too But most fascinating are the commercials from back then (much less editing and more relaxed), and (the reason I am putting this here), an interview with Mark Fidrych from the Tiger Winter Caravan, who'd only go on to pitch 3 games in 1978. Just so heartbreaking to see how quickly it was over for him. And the Toledo GoldDiggers hockey team. Now I want one of their t-shirts. Commercials changed drastically after MTV got popular. It became standard that there are no shots longer than 3 seconds in any commercial. Still the norm today. -
I will not be able to watch the rest of the NFL season. I............just............can't.........do............it.

The Orioles. Took them a long time to get back to being contenders and it seems as if they are doing nothing to stay there. -

I thought Kim had signed with the Dodgers and I see there is a Hyesong Kim and Ha-Seong Kim. There's a band named Goose and a band named Geese. It gets confusing. -

I guess several teams have offered 5 years for Bregman. I'm starting to think "screw this guy". What did the Astros offer 6/156 ? Just take your 1 year deal with the Cubs and hope the wind blows out at Wrigley all year. -

I agree with that, but not right now. Right now he's their #2 or #3 starter. -
