    Would that have been Cashmsn? He would have been thrown out of NYC if that had been consummated

    For what it’s worth, the Tigers and MLB should try and hire personalities that have younger appeal. The sport risks becoming irrelevant and old dudes like us will tune in regardless.

    Blame Tigers Twitter for his goofy local announcing. They worship at the altar of Benneti and he rewards them with the tomfoolery and hijinks.

    I have to believe Colt is headed for 3B, barring a Bregman signing. All of our prospects are 2B—Lee, McGonigle and Anderson.

    He could gamble on the Tigers giving him a QO, if he opts out. That would result in a $2M raise for ‘26 and take the QO off the table during the ‘27/‘27 offseason, removing any barriers to signing. I believe if he doesn’t opt out, the QO would be in play after the ‘26 season, but I could be (and am likely) wrong.

    Truth

    Cease would be nice protection against a Skubal defection. No one can replace Tarik, but you can be a playoff team without an elite ace, with 3-4 very good starters. (Milwaukee, Toronto and Seattle).

    Great question. Twins and White Sox in recent years reduced payroll with the assumption it would make them more attractive in a sale.

    Think it’s Olsen <ducks>

    If other teams have a similar outlook, he might not command enough to make it worth moving him. Still only 25, I think he’ll hold up for his remaining years of control. The bigger question is whether we eventually extend him.

    Technically it didn’t start out as a pennant race, but those guys helped turn it into one.

    I suspect Urquidy will be in the mix nest season. His contract is only $4M in ‘26– a bargain compared to recent lottery picks, Maeda and Cobb.

    Lighten up, Echos.

    Soto, too, to the Yankees.
  15. Tenacious D
    A 2027 rotation of Skubal, Jobe, Melton, Olsen and anyone else could be very good.

    The comp is probably Scherzer, who was elite with the Tigers, but not long enough to have the lasting connection. Skubal has been better and nationally associated with the Tigers, but if he signs for 8-10 years with a new team, they will become who he is identified with. And I’m not convinced Verlander goes in as a Tiger.

    The Godfather offers don’t seem to pan out for pitchers. Keep him, sign him or take the draft comp. Or, if we’re not in playoff contention, then consider moving him at the deadline. I would not trade him this offseason.

    As a reminder, Riley turned 25 last month. Hope you all sent cards.

    A lost season for hm.
  20. Tenacious D
    Ha—he’s not going anywhere.
  21. Tenacious D
    Bears repeating. Two LH hitters were due up.
  22. Tenacious D
    Is Hurter really that bad?
  23. Tenacious D
    Maybe Jack knew what he was doing. Take the bat out of their two best hitters hands. Genius move!
  24. Tenacious D
    I wish Flaherty would at least make it look like he cares.

    One thing I’ve learned this series is that Mariners fans are the biggest dorks of any professional or college team.
