Momentum is as good as the next day's starting pitcher.

What if they already had Bichette? What would they do then? Someone can move to the outfield in a few years. Or maybe some of those guys don't hit well enough in the majors to matter. They aren't getting Bichette anyway, but if they did, these things work themselves out.

He could do better. He could do worse. Given his track record you'd expect about 3 WAR if he's healthy.

Toronto.

If WAR is still worth 8 million as estimated a few years ago, the the QO would not be an overpay based on his full 2025 season.

I would say yes, depending on his health. The healthy version of Torres was at or near all-star caliber last year and it's just one year, so I don't care about the amount.

I don't think he'll take the offer, but the injury makes it less certain. I think he can still get a mult-year deal, but maybe not as many years or dollars as he could if he were completely healthy. It's plausible, he could take the QO and then get a better contract after next year.

Blue Jays are making a series out of this short series.

Except it became unfamiliar later in the year!

I was going to make a joke post saying pretty much the same thing as this. I'd be fne with it, but I don't see Harris/Ilitch signing more than one expensive player. If they sign one of those guys it would be a big deal.

I think that is because many fans believe the Tigers can get more for one year of Skubal than they likely will.

They need to keep him unless they get overwhelmed with an offer. Trading your ace pitcher when you are likely going to contend is not a good move. I would think the players would not like that much.

I miss Sunday doubleheaders.

I went to bed after 9 innings. Did the Blue Jays announcer do a game re-cap?

I have been starting to realize that not having to care may be the only benefit of growing older. I still have a hard time mastering it though.

True, but I believe it was a Mariner batter.

I heard that too. I am pretty sure it was Seattle.

What a game for Yamamoto. You don't see complete games in post-season anymore. You rarely even see them in the regular season.

Leyland's best line in the speech: "I asked my wife: did you ever think in your wildest dreams that I would make the Hall of Fame? She said: Jim You aren't in my wildest dreams"

Sparky was a character, but I agree he was probably not a great manager. Enough players have said good things about him for me to think he was a pretty good manager. However, I think he was better at managing veteran egos than developing young players. He had a lot of talent in place in both Cincinati and Detroit. It was hard to screw that up.

Definitely one of my favorites Tiger moments. Better than the Ordonez homer because of the personalities involved.

Nobody can stop the Dodgers. It's so unfair.

I think Liranzo still needs to regarded as a top prospect, but I also wonder if the Dodgers knew something.

It's something we can't talk about here.
