Tenacious D

He was chosen to speak on behalf of the players at Miggy’s retirement ceremony.

No ERod news yet? Maybe he really does want to stay.

Yeah, I wouldn’t group Inge with those guys. To me, he’s more like Bobby Higginson—had a few good years, then flamed out.

I hope they protect Wenceel, too.

Let’s get the offseason started. Will be extremely pissed if we don’t pull off a trade tomorrow.

This. Dying to learn who our new 1B coach will be.

Don’t mess with the Lions

Glad we avoided Semien and Seager in free agency. #ElMago

The irony of trading ‘24 draft picks, is that Detroit hosts the draft next year. Would be a bummer for the local fans, though I suspect we’ll hold on to our 1st and 2nd rounders.

I think they’re buddies, which is a big strike against hiring Ferrins in any capacity.

He was also on a few months ago, after he sat in with Dickerson.

I like our chances the rest of the way with a healthy O line and Montgomery—hopefully after the BYE.

So, you’re saying there’s a chance?

I like that—the 3B becomes 1B vs right handed hitters. Think of the possibilities when a player on 1B and 3B can both steal 2B at the same time?

The most equitable way to settle a tie, IMO

No way you trade Skubal to San Diego in any trade. ‘Cause he’s heading to LA for the ERod bounty, pending a SP free agent signing For Tatis, I’d send Jung, Carpenter, Malloy and Madden. (Or other interchangeable parts).

Agree. 2025 makes sense, 2024 if there are injuries or he really forces the issue.

Somehow whiffle balls need to come into play

No team will take on Baez, unless we eat enough of his salary to get it closer to $6-8M per year. Especially the Padres, who want to shed payroll and already have plenty of guys who play Javy’s positions.

Agree—I prefer Sosa, but too risky on a one year contract.

Dombrowski cuts an impressive father figure. Speaking of Weaver, didn’t he and Fick get busted for having weed Fed-Ex’d to their hotel room?

Why would they trade Kim? He’s cost-effective for them. They will want to move contracts.

I know I sound like a broken record, but we should grab a superstar hitter from the Padres. I don’t think they can afford them all. One elite bat would make a huge difference and help everyone else out.

Padres probably saved some money, too, instead of firing him and paying off his remaining contract. Given their local TV deal and insane payroll, they are probably in penny-pinching mode.

Great—now please clear these Tigers conspiracies for me: -Miggy got injured trying to separate Prince and Avisail Garcia, after he allegedly slept with Fielder’s wife. -Brandon Inge punched Ugueth Urbana on a team flight. -Gibby physically went after Pudge for being disrespectful to Tram, when he was manager. -Ron LeFlore went MIA for a game, the same day his brother’s alleged killer was murdered.
