Not sure why Reynolds is asking for a trade—could be a personality conflict or just sick of playing on a shitty team. If it’s the latter, he wouldn’t be happy here, either. We don’t have the assets to get a player of his caliber anyway. Harris is gonna have to McGuyver this roster for the next couple of seasons. Is Scott Hatteberg still playing?

DJ had over 3.0 last year. He’d more than make up for Candelario.
-
Finally! Excited to see what Pierschbacher can do. -
I’ll bet our 3B is someone we haven’t even considered yet, like a DJ LeMaheiu-type veteran that we get in a salary dump trade, where we don’t need to give up much, or get a nice prospect in the package.
-
Let me help you make sense of the decision not to give Jeimer a raise: .217 batting average and .633 OPS. Pretty sure that Zach Short could give us that. You guys are like a bunch of millennials who expect a participation trophy for each of our players. Personally, I don’t want to sit through another bullshit season with the same group of underperformers.
-
Let’s not forget that Harris has stated he’d like to find a LH bat for the infield. With Tork, Schoop and Baez, 3B is where you solve that.

Cheap-ass Tigers. If they would have coughed up another $175M, we could have had DeGrom instead of Boyd
-
Both Chaparro and Noda look interesting.
-
I think it would have been irresponsible to give him a raise based on his sub-par 2022 performance. What kind of message does that send to fans and the org?
-
as long as they can provide a .750 or above OPS for a season or two, I'm good.
-
well, if we're to take Harris at his word around prioritizing players who have a good knowledge of the strike zone, I think that's what he will strive for.
-
I'm not the least bit upset losing any of the players we've moved on from. what's Einstein's definition of insanity? doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I wish we could have moved on from Schoop, as well.
-
so much consternation around a .217 BA, .633 OPS hitter. Where is the outrage over losing the Castro Bros? Victor Reyes?
-
Great thread idea. I’ll get it started.
-
are you really willing to fall on your sword for Candelario? You might want to go back and look at last year's offensive and defensive contributions and revisit your position. I appreciate that Harris is looking to improve there, even though it's a pretty low bar.
-
Player’s market? That does not bode well for us and explains why Matty received $10M. That contract might be a bargain.
-
A lot of offseason left. They were forced to make the call on Candy when they did. I’m fairly confident someone will be brought in prior to Spring Training.
-
I suspect we offered something close to that. It is possible that he wanted a fresh start somewhere else.
-
This is going to be a very long winter if we have to keep revisiting Miggy's presence on next year's roster. It's happening, no matter how much grousing takes place.
-
I think everyone, including Team Miggy, would be OK with an injury that cuts significantly into his playing time. I just want the Tigers to provide the guy with the opportunity to leave on his own terms.
-
here, here! I'm also part of Team Miggy, for the reasons you list. F the haters!
-
Does Tork = Laga in your example? Asking for a friend.
-
Is that a thing?
-
Not at all—I think his milestone chase did positively impact attendance (I personally made it to his 3000th hit—one of only two games I went to). However, once that was over, his presence likely had very little impact on attendance. And I suspect he’ll have none in 2023, except for his retirement ceremony.
-
Without knowing how much he received, that looks like a good fit.
