My “guess” is they are planning on Baez being their shortstop for 2024. Perhaps their is a very small chance they see him at second base thinking that might unlock his bat. He hit well as a Met playing second and his Cubs best play was there also. But he isn’t going anywhere and Mike isn’t eating his salary. I think and hope for a better hitter in 2024. More XB hits even if less walks and more K.

Mckinstry is a nice bench player but he plays way too much. He's fourth on the team in AB's and that needs to change next year with better players.

The dude is legit.

We have the second most errors in all of baseball. Maybe too many players playing out of position?

Nobody hates Tork. We want him to do well. Just saying what we see as fans.

Yes but any decent first baseman makes that catch.

Torkelson is a poor first baseman.

Defensive limitations on Keith Mallory Jung And Carpenter might lead to trades or extended minor league stay.

My sentiments exactly and he needs to fill that position this off season.

In an unfortunate and sad twist of fate the Angel’s chances of signing him just increased if they move right now. And I still think he eclipses 500 million.

Go get one this off season. Don't create a defensive black hole in the outfield to do so.

Hope they change broadcasters because they are bad not because of that. My gosh get some thicker skin.

Greene Lf Meadows CF Verling RF Forget about Badoo and Carpenter etc.... just do it Hinch/Harris and help your pitchers. It's a great Championship caliber defensive alignment. Just play them and watch them get better and better with repetition and playing as a unit.

So will they activate Trumbull or keep him in AAA for second year of control ?

Just a jog in the park. Defense wins games.

Yes I do tend to be a tough evaluater but doesn’t a pitcher have to have more than one year with 30 starts to be counted on as a top of the rotation starter ?

That’s fair and I hope your right.

For the record I am ok with Baez , Meadows looks hopeful, Rogers seems ok but in reality we are still very woeful at the key up the middle positions of C-SS-CF- 2B compared with the league and until we fix that going after a weak Central, which might not be so weak next year, is our only goal. Plus we only have a # 3 starter at best in Skubal if his arm holds up.

Agree..as you said we have to be past that it's been seven bloody years...

Agree but you can still trade Torkelson and be better for next year if the return are also young major league ready players. Selling high is dangerous but can work.

Bigbe plays first ....maybe Keith could..or JHM...point being it's not a hard position to fill and in my opinion we really need pitching. Lots of it.

oops..sorry..have I mentioned about his Power potential ?

Foul area seems big in Comerica.

And cut his grass.

CK looks not too good. Too soon to complain ?
