Javy Baez does not hit on elderly nuns.

Seattle paid some of his salary and Minnesota said they will reinvest that money into the roster.

Sweet DFA.

My guess is Sweet or Lipcius.

He played 3rd in the AFL. He'll probably play there in the spring and for Toledo.

Congratulations Colt Keith!

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/01/diamond-sports-group-announces-restructuring-deal-featuring-investment-from-amazon.html 9:50am: Josh Kosman of The New York Post reports that Amazon is giving Diamond roughly $100MM for the streaming rights of the Tigers, Royals, Marlins, Brewers and Rays. That money and the Sinclair settlement money could be presented to a Houston bankruptcy judge as early as today.

During a couple three week stretches, Vierling was one of the best hitters in the league. Unfortunately, he sucked the rest of the time. Maybe he can help at third. Tigers need another year to figure out if he and some others are going to perform. That's why I think Minnesota or Cleveland will win the division. They have more proven talent right now.

Most of the cases this year are hundreds of thousands apart. Webb and the Orioles are 75k apart. Bickford and the Mets are 85k apart. The 25k difference is the really silly part of this and seems like a waste of time.

At this point, I think it's more like those other teams got worse but there are still pitchers available so the list could change.

With Chapman and Baez they might have the best defense on the left side. Probably the worst offense on the left side too. Not really worth the cost. Greene and Tork are going to have to step up and produce while we see what some unproven players can do.

There are incentives in Miller's contract for games finished which might mean Lange is being shopped for a bat. Donny Sands DFA to make room for Miller.

With the addition of Miller maybe a deal for someone in the bullpen is a possibility.

I'm happy with the other moves but this one is a head scratcher. Dude averages 4 BB/9 and had a .165 BABIP last year! He is not projected to be of much value. Seems someone younger could do the job for league minimum.

$50 million signing bonus and no deferred money.

Yamamoto signs with Dodgers for 12 years and $325 million.

Flaherty deal still not official yet for some reason. The offseason is far from over but if Flaherty is signed, has Harris done enough? I'd still like to see them add a closer and maybe trade for a third baseman.

Higher cost because they are hoping they can compete instead of having to flip good performers at the deadline. This way they compete but can give him a qualifying offer at the end of the season and get a draft pick.

I can see them doubling up in the rotation like they did this season. Mize and Manning pitch four innings each in the same game. Olson pitched 100 innings, Skubal and Manning only 80 each. They won't want to drastically increase their workloads next year.

Flaherty had an ok season and if he can build on it the Tigers can give him a qualifying offer. Turnbull has a lot more to prove at this point.

I doubt they trade any young pitchers. Flaherty for one year and Maeda for two are not long term solutions. Looking at Flaherty's stats, seems he was let down by his defense a bit.

Ohtani getting $2 million per year. $68 million deferred every year! The league is ok with that? Dodgers indeed. Tax dodgers.

I still want them to add another starter and closer but I'm not sure who it could be.

His contract reflects that, less than $5 million guaranteed. Working with Fetter and being closer to home should help. Plus he's not relied on to be the top guy.

Glad to have the failed starter back.
