Hold my sake.

Narcissist con man recognizes the most successful scam of all time when he sees it.

We need a couple extra hours to secure our igloos before the game.

Nice area. Buggy whip.

What a cool kid.

Trade Skubal to compete in 2025 doesn't make sense. You trade him if your window doesn't open until '27. I doubt they trade him. Is a team going to put 200+ innings on his arm this year? Seems like an injury concern to me.

Morosi's take: https://www.audacy.com/971theticket/sports/detroit-tigers/detroit-tigers-face-easy-hard-decision-on-tarik-skubal?utm_campaign=www.audacy.com%2F971theticket&utm_content=1721321279&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_term=WXYT-FM&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3XkwbMz4Ey7TxhdqlGgHO6yz4FSS4jG3aJkcuLSxbNgLZbSatr9O8FuAI_aem_XdiurLV2uGsnvpNEcexMUw

Less than 2.5 years of control with injury history and risk.

Skubal has been great but not as great as Soto was at the time of the trade.

Third round Josh Randall RHP from U of SD. Sounds like Foley but with a chance of developing a change up and being a starter.

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2024-mlb-draft-day-one-recap/ "This might be my favorite group from Day One. Lefty-hitting shortstops with power are rare and Detroit got one in Bryce Rainer at 11, hit tool risk be damned. I had a first round grade on Owen Hall, whose frame and arm action are screaming with long-term projection, and his pitch quality foundation is already in a great spot. Ethan Schiefelbein is almost like a diversification pick because he’s polished. There were some college arms available who I have ranked a little ahead of him (Bruce Cunningham was the big one), so it wasn’t as if Schiefelbein was an alternative to a lack of college pitchers, but I had him ranked right around where he was taken."

Looking at the MLB grades would put Rainer #3, Hall #6 and Schiefelbein top 10 in the Tigers top 30. Yes of course I copy and pasted Schiefelbein...twice.

Spared Reagan for the Billionaires and Trump for the Trillionaires?

Texas

In the MLB report on him is speculation of moving to third and winning a gold glove there.

Corey Seager comp. Can't complain about that.

I was hoping one team would blink. Thanks Angels!

Both loses by one run.

30 seconds later...nope

Eighth inning. Time to score runs.
