Tigermojo

ERod to DBacks for four years.

We only have roster space for Ohtani and Yamamoto anyway.

Did Dave Roberts torpedo the Dodgers chances of signing Ohtani?

ALC Champion Chicago White Sox

Correct me if I'm wrong. Tigers could be eligible for the next lottery unless they make the playoffs?

Ohio steals the 1 and 2 picks.

Tigers get the 11th pick.

Who's bringing the dip?

I don't care about Hinch's past. As gehringer_2 pointed out, the offense has really struggled and that's something that needs to be addressed. They need to figure out how to get the best performance out of each individual and that's not just on Hinch but he is the boss. They need a shorter leash on guys as well. Maton had way too much playing time. If you're not performing we'll try someone else has to be the new mindset now that Miggy is gone. I hope this extension isn't rewarding mediocrity because the offense has stunk. Hinch shouldn't put up with it anymore and players should get less playing time if they don't perform.

I'm surprised he didn't try to get an assistant GM deal like Gabe Kapler.

His cancer has cancer. Double negative.

Cigarette instead of a cap?

The opposite of what Harris preaches which might suggest Chris' influence if they did sign him but most likely just speculation by writers trying to find something to write about.

Nola territory 6/$172. Maybe an extra year.

Gabe Kapler is the Marlins new assistant GM.

Scott Harris should sue him if he does. *rim shot*

I could see Mize getting some time in the pen. They won't want him to pitch too many innings.

Teams with Japanese players (not sure if I missed any): Darvish - Padres Kikuchi - Blue Jays Suzuki - Cubs Yoshida - Red Sox Senga - Mets Fujinami - A's Maeda - Tigers If any players coming from Japan want to play on a team with another Japanese player, those are their choices, depending on where Ohtani signs.

Maeda official. $14 mil in '24 and $10 mil in '25. Welcome to Detroit!

He was non-tendered and is a free agent.

Build the best 40 man roster you can because we'll probably need them at some point. Look at all the injuries the past two seasons.

I think his experience was something they were looking for too. He's been in the playoffs every year. He's pitched in the rotation and bullpen. He can set an example for the younger guys.
