Impressively avoided both quality and quantity. I miss him.

No proof of this. Both teams built through the draft and have spent to supplement with free agents. NHL is trickier with the salary cap.

Flaherty and Torres are both on one year deals—no bearing on signing Skubal after this season. I doubt it will get in the way of signing another starting pitcher and bullpen help.

In his defense, he has had a lot of extra time the last few years to spend it.

Are we really complaining about the rookie that scored today?

Can’t see how they can turn this season around. Still a good young core that can be very good next year with a more favorable schedule. Lions in ‘27!

Will only make this win that much sweeter.

Why did Branch give up on that play?

Finally, something to be thankful for this offseason.

Things I believe: -Avila was not nearly as bad as he is often made out to be. -Harris has not yet demonstrated that he is the wunderkind that some claim. -Both contributed to the last two seasons postseason success. -Ilitch is not cheap, and if we’re not spending to some people’s expectations on the MLB roster, that is Harris making those decisions. -Jim Campbell never should have traded Jason Thompson for Al Cowens.

The more obvious opportunity to improve our offense is in the outfield, either CF or RF. I’d still pursue Luis Robert in the hopes that he can get back to his previous self. Meadows, Lee and Miller?
