We should thank Trump for proving the system is rigged, some people are above the law, billionaires are sick out of control fascists and truth doesn't matter.

I forgot about Raybourne.

2026 Detroit Tigers American League Central Evil Empire

I'm a little shocked but happy for Skubal. World Series or bust!

I think it's because I've read his name about a million times this year.

My bad. It's Octagon.

Boras getting Pittsburgh involved seemed to move things along for Valdez. $32 million for Skubal means Boras is looking to break records in November.

"Detroit also forfeits draft capital because Valdez rejected a qualifying offer from the Astros. They’re a revenue sharing recipient so it’s the lowest penalty, their third-highest pick in the 2026 draft. That’s currently slated to be their Competitive Balance Round B selection, which is 69th overall. The Tigers could look to trade that pick — Competitive Balance selections are the only ones that can be traded — rather than losing it as the compensatory pick. They’d then forfeit their third-round selection (#98 overall), but another team might be more willing to give up something of value for the higher draft choice and accompanying slot value that makes it worthwhile for Detroit to lose the third-rounder." https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/02/tigers-framber-valdez-agree-to-three-year-deal.html

Framber and Franyerber potentially on the same team!

One concern is Valdez had a rough August/September.

It feels like a huge win they didn't have to give Valdez 6 or 7 years.

Still a bunch of negative on Reddit but my mood is improved. I was hoping they would add a #2.

Mr. Anderson unless Olson is not healthy.

Can they wait until they put Jobe on the 60 day IL or will they lose someone?

I'm fine either way. It's a business and these guys are the best. I would be surprised if he wins. I think Boras overplayed this one, but maybe he cares more about the next contract than this arbitration.

They live in a different world than the rest of us. It's 2000 vs 8 billion and the 8 billion are losing. It's not just Trump. They are all complicit. I don't even want to imagine the illegal activities they are all involved in.

We're a bunch of grumpy old morans.

His friends are in the files and those friends have other dirt on him. If they go down they expose him.

There's something Trump's lackeys don't seem to realize. Something that he himself created: The truth doesn't matter anymore.

Every new thing that pops up is like another domino to the end of democracy. Not just the USA, they are coming for the whole world. They don't care about billions and trillions. They want complete control and forced devotion just like North Korea. It's not just Trump, it's his filthy rich backers too. Maga thinks it won't affect them, but they will have chains around there necks just like everyone else.

Ice wouldn't need masks if they conducted themselves like other agencies. It's clear they are Trump's hired thugs. It's not about illegal immigrants. It's about ending democracy and putting a crown on Trump's head. Then his toupee won't fly off.

Probably being recruited by ice.

Attacking women is what they do.
