LA or Iran? 😉

Tork had a really bad dream last night. He dreamed he came into the clubhouse today and Hinch had moved Baez in front of him in the batting order.

This hat look's better that the Detroit City Connect hat.

Baez is having a good weekend.

Eight down. One more.

Chafin on the mound. He really needs a good outing. Don’t blow this.

Canha is due.

Carson Kelly getting it done.

Tork finds an acorn this evening.

Lange is a ticking time bomb.

Nine outs is a long way to go.

When can we expect your, ‘Book of Baseball Puns’ release? Jim Price would have loved this one.

Boys, this is what happens when you just trust the process.

I listened to this game. He saved a worn out Rays bullpen tonight. He just ran out of gas after seven innings. Solid start.

After today, how many years will it be before your next game?

If the hitting coaches aren’t getting the job done, it’s a Hinch/Harris problem and it’s their job to resolve it.

Bad results. Good process.

Good point.

Big Daddy leading off the thread. 👍

The Biden administration notified Congress on Tuesday that it was moving forward with more than $1 billion in new weapons deals for Israel, U.S. and congressional officials said, a massive arms package less than a week after the White House paused a shipment of bombs over a planned Israeli assault on Rafah. The latest weapons package includes the potential transfer of $700 million in tank ammunition, $500 million in tactical vehicles and $60 million in mortar rounds, the officials said. -WSJ

The Tigers will not eat Baez contract for at least two more years. But if they were willing to act on Baez, the Tampa Bay Rays have Junior Caminero, their #1 prospect in Durham. He’s primarily a SS but plays third as well. At AA the Rays have Carson Williams, their #2 prospect. He is also primarily a SS but will also play at 3B. Assuming Wander Franco is out of the picture, I believe Caminero will be their opening day starter at SS or 3B next year and will likely go up the second half of this year. Neither of these guys would come cheap. It would take a Jackson Jobe plus to get Caminero but I’d do it today. Caminero is 20 yrs of age. The Rays starting SS is Jose Cabellero who they got in exchange for Luke Raley in January. The Rays know baseball.
