Alex Faedo’s is stellar

Disappointed to see any responses in this thread. It’s a Desperate cry for attention, a la Rob Parker or Lynn Henning.

I think what distinguishes him is his age, pitch recognition, quick ascent and strong performance in the AFL. The only thing he has in common with Demeritte is the team we acquired him from. Looking forward to see what he can do in a full season at AAA in Toledo.

He’s a good guy to have in AAA. Decent insurance

It’s also the reason to trade ERod while you can. He’ll only make $14M this season, which should make him very attractive in trade with any of the teams who lose out on Carlos Rodon.

Baez has to return closer to his career averages if he hopes to get the stink of 2022 off him. This would be the best outcome for everyone, especially the Tigers. I’m not counting on it, though.

Agree. The guy can be a douche, but no one deserves this treatment if innocent. Unfortunately, he’s not been given the benefit of the doubt, perhaps due to his brashness.

Anyone concerned that Baker Mayfield could increase the chances of the Rams winning a few more games this season and messing up our chance of getting a top-5 pick? Asking for a friend.

I was a very junior advertising grunt at one of the bigger ad agencies in Detroit. My client was a sponsor of the Tigers radio broadcast and I had Rick Rizzs call me asking if he could do commercial work, in exchange for a car. I was excited and starstruck until he basically started stalking me after that. Seemed like a nice dude, though, and he eventually respectfully honored the restraining order I filed against him.

I heard the bigger issue was that he didn’t always wash his hands after using the restroom.

I’m working on this.

Who knew that SD would need to overpay by so much? Playoff team in one of the most beautiful cities in the US to live in.

“The world needs relievers, too, Danny.”

It would be exciting if they let The Hyphenate try and make the team out of Spring Training, though I suspect he’ll be Toledo-bound.

Now I kind of miss all of the talk around cutting Candelario.

My comment wasn’t meant as a commentary on his acquisition, but a desperate plea for a cheap laugh.

Somebody has to replace Harold Castro’s innings next season.

A bit of an overreaction, but, yes, this team will not get fixed this sole offseason. I’m not going to worry until we get to spring training and no other moves have been made. I doubt that happens. We’ll pick from the second tier of free agents and hopefully make a trade or two. Any improvement, though, will come mostly from our own player development. Fingers crossed.

This is the first players market in a while—teams are spending recklessly. Less than ideal for the Tigers.

At the risk of being a conspiracy guy, is there any chance that the Tigers and/or Comerica Park were subjected to a deader ball more often? It would make some sense out of the entire lineup underperforming all at the same time.

I don't think they've adjusted the timing--I believe it is still tied to All-Star game weekend.

Matt Boyd looks like a steal now

Source please? (Would like to see the list you’re referencing)

Anyone know how much our draft pool grows by going from #6 to #3?

That was the biggest group of awkward looking guys you’ll ever want to meet. And nice to leapfrog the Royals!
