Who’s gonna break it to SF that Pleis is gone, too?

Please point it at Detroit

Les Moss is gone, too

Wow. The Jays with a collapse that would make Greg Norman proud.

F Cleveland

Are we going to belabor and exhaust the Cabrera situation? He’s on the team next season. Next topic, please.

Harold Castro = Enos Cabell

Haase = Wockenfuss

I have a bad feeling about the Indians.

We should be a highly desirable destination for minor league free agent pitchers when you factor in the Fetter Effect, as well as the opportunity we offer to make the MLB staff.

Yes—why in the world would we let Lange leave? Probably our best bullpen piece.

The funny name to see on that list is Willie Randolph--one of my favorite non-Tigers in the 70's, and probably an underrated guy (unusual to say for a Yankee).

for all of this talk of blowing up the roster, where do we think we will be sourcing better players? All via free agency? Signing 6-8 free agents? I think that's unlikely. I think we all agree we have few tradable assets in the organization, due to injuries and poor performances, so upgrading talent via trades will be a longer term play. The draft is an even longer term play. As has been previously mentioned, this team will need to have 8-9 viable starters between Detroit and Toledo. To me, that puts Brieske, Hill, Alexander and Garcia in the mix. We don't know the extent of Manning's injury, and can't count on Mize, Skubal, and potentially, Manning. That leaves Eduardo Rodriguez and four other guys. Just to start the season, and doesn't account for injuries. We're going to need to be patient with Harris--I think his hands are tied this offseason.

The other 40 man roster challenge is that we essentially have to consider protecting players that would have been eligible for the Rule 5 which was canceled last year, due to the work stoppage. So, we have two eligible groups to deal with. From the glass is half full perspective, we also could benefit from a deeper pool of talent in the draft. Get your party favors together.

Yeah, I think the ghost of Norm Cash can rest easily.

F Shep. He still sucks. If he were really brave, he would have said something during Al’s Reign of Terror. Going off now could only endear him to Harris, who knows he has inherited a mess. That’s not courage—it’s pandering. I’m kind of shocked by the reactions here and that no one else sees this.

I don’t like where this is going

which means we'll win this game, because, it's 2022. Anyone feeling sad about the season ending? I'm relieved to get this behind us--one of the worst seasons I've endured over 45 years of being a Tigers fan. Probably because expectations were a bit higher.

So, their backup catcher gets the win. Our All-Star closer with the loss.

Pretty embarrassing turn of events if we lose this one this way.

That 10th inning was a microcosm of our offensive performance this year. The backup C faces 5 Tigers and doesn’t give up a hit or walk.

Does Brian Garcia have a spot on the 40-man this offseason? Between a few starts here and in Toledo, seems like he has reinvented himself into potentially useful SP depth.

Really expected to see Tram on that list. He kind of limped to the finish line.

Just looked at the Phillies box score—a lot of pop in their lineup. Except for Nick C, who put up pretty pedestrian numbers this season. He can’t blame that ballpark, though.
