$30 million less than Judge and he's six years younger. Why would he accept that? Is it really a good idea for Detroit to invest so much into one player again now that Miggy is gone? I'd rather have a good roster instead of one star.

Playoff games equal more risk for injury as well.

Tigers Notes: Rodriguez, Mize, Maton, Baddoo - MLB Trade Rumors Summary: Best of luck ERod. Mize is fine. Maton had arthroscopic procedure on his left knee. Baddoo is still in the plan.

I don't think Urshela is the type of player Harris would target.

Maybe they figure one more off season will help Kelly's forearm recover.

ERod opts out.

Canha's defensive numbers don't look very good. Definitely Hinch's type of player. Experience at every corner and DH. Doesn't look good for Malloy who was supposed to fill that right handed, backup corner type player.

The way I read it was Monday is the deadline but ERod will make his decision Saturday. It's his personal deadline not the official deadline.

Nevin's dad broke out at age 28 for three good years. Tyler will be 27 next year.

Get on that phone Harris. Time's a wastin' Greenberg.

The Rays may look at trading guys who are about to get expensive. What could go wrong trading with the Rays?

We don't need anyone. All of our prospects are going to be above average MLBers.

Yay! One step closer to the offseason.

Jung's brother can give him some tips at third. He had a really nice year for Texas.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/10/big-hype-prospects-flores-manzardo-bliss-montgomery-hassell.html From big hype prospects on mlbtraderumors: "Wilmer Flores, 22, SP, DET (AA) 80.2 IP, 9.15 K/9, 3.57 BB/9, 3.90 ERA Flores performs like someone with a Major League future. He induces plenty of whiffs, limits walks, and generally runs around a 50 percent ground ball rate. Typically, pitchers who can show those three traits go on to have a nice career (health permitting). Sometimes, they have to take the long road like Cristopher Sanchez or Erick Fedde. My contacts don’t like Flores’ pitch design, though it’s been at least half a year since I’ve received an update on that front. In brief, as of April, his pitches didn’t tunnel well. This is his second stint in the AFL. In three games, all relief appearances, he’s thrown eight innings while allowing nine hits, one walk, one hit batter, one run, and nine strikeouts. Flores is Rule 5 eligible this winter. Barring catastrophe, he’ll soon be on the Tigers 40-man roster. Though he has the look and stuff of a starter, a debut in the bullpen would allow him to ignore those pitch design concerns."

That would make him a top 15 player in MLB.

Drafted out of college and ended up with a shoulder impingement in 2016 that slowed his development.

Haven't we learned our lesson with Greene and Torkelson? We bring up these guys when they are too young and not ready, to play on a mediocre team and burn through their years of control. Why? Yes they have had some individual success but also a lot of struggles. I think Harris has the right approach by not calling up players who are not ready. Counting on rookies is probably not a winning strategy. It's going to take time for all of our position players to develop. It will probably take a few years for some of them to establish themselves and some of them are just not going to make it.

Half those guys have previous MLB success which proves how hard the game is even with multiple years of experience. Counting on guys with zero experience is a gamble. We don't even know if Carpenter is for real or not. There's a ton of question marks on this team and adding more questions does not turn them into a contender.

You don't know what type of players they will be. Nobody does. Counting on all of our prospects being successful is not a winning strategy.

They should just send him back to us.

No offense to CMo and Gibby, great players, great people but I've had enough of their color commentary. Personally, I do like Petry and if they wanted to somehow combine the tv and radio broadcasts, I'd be fine with that.

If they are bringing CMo back there was no point getting rid of Shep. They could bring in the best PBP guy in the world but the rest of them are going to drag the broadcast down. Either elevate your whole game or don't bother. It's like firing the manager and expecting the mediocre team to improve.

I hope all the teams lose.

What's happening with Bally? Are they going out of business or what? Are they stuck in a contract with Bally or could they revamp the whole broadcast?
