If there are any maga out there that hapen to have a neighbor they refer to as “my black neighbor”, now would be a great time to reach out and make sure he knows that not all maga laugh and call him a monkey behind his back.
Maybe it’s possible that this landscape changing arbitration victory would be enough for Boras & Skubal. They have more than done their part looking out for the players in the union and making their future better.
Could they now be more open to the possibility of signing a long term deal and foregoing free agency? It would still be the largest deal ever for a pitcher. One can hope.
I wonder how long they have been sitting on this deal. It wasn’t coincidence that it was announced shortly after the arbitration hearing ended. I’m sure it would’ve come up in Skubal’s argument had the Tigers done this prior.
My thoughts are all financial and lack of trust in Chris. The uncertainty of the new TV deal along with a potential lockout looming has me doubting that he’s going to significantly increased payroll this season. I hope that I’m wrong and this is the new Chris.
They need to get a nice cushion and solidify the top seed early so they can rest Cade a bit before the playoffs. He’s going to have to play 45 minutes a game if they make it to the later rounds. God help them if he ever happens to get in foul trouble.
Or they could make a move for a secondary scorer and also a real backup PG
In addition to the shooting and secondary scoring issues, there’s also one at backup PG. We have nobody that can distribute and get looks for their teammates.
Hmm. Maybe there is a 4th part to this deal that will make it all make sense. The Bulls still want to part with Ayo and White. Please be Brooklyn or New Orleans!!!
