can Manu at least replace Skipper?
-
Neither of these teams is great. Mahomes is at home. Would have been a great year to get in the playoffs and see what happens. Oh well. Life is unfair; sports are unfair. Cannot abide another Pats title.
-
someone noted that they selected AAA All-star Christin Stewart with the pick they were awarded when Max Scherzer left, so that's something to look forward to to 2031
-
that would be a horrible deal for Skubal - pitchers get injured and he has already been injured he is not foregoing $200M+ of guaranteed money to sign for 3 years
-
and there would be more picks available to make a modest trade if Holmes did not piss away picks to move up to grab Arnold, Manu, Vaki, TeSlaa, Martin, Fraizer, and others.
-
looks super unlikely that the mets trade for Skubal https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/01/mets-trade-for-freddy-peralta.html
-
cannot recall any article saying, John Morton is not a good fit for the Lions persona, scheme or personnel
-
Luis Robert to Mets for 2 blah prospects. Nice roll of the dice by the Mets. If Robert can play 100-110 games (huge ? mark there) could be impactful for them.
-
Lee #3 for 3rd base. McGonigle will be #2 for SS tomorrow; Rainer could be on list too Max might be #1 for OF
-
Dan and Brad dragged this garbage franchise out of hell and into the playoffs But we shall see if they can make the next step
-
a lot of economically illiterate people think that if the players were not so greedy, tickets and beers would be cheaper it is odd to see fans clamoring for owners to keep more and more of the revenue
-
Bichette to Mets 3/126 (42 per)
-
right now in terms of asset allocation, the Tigers have 1 year of Skubal, might be worth 6-8 WAR in 2026 + the 31st pick in 2027. The chances he signs with Det are approaching zero. it is obvious to me the proactive decision would be to trade him now.
-
Mets rumored to be offering Tucker 50M per year on a short term deal (2 or 3 years?)
-
not sure why the Texans signed Danielle Hunter when they already had Will Anderson; why would any team want more than 1 guy who can get to the QB?
-
when is Skubal a free agent?
-
Tucker would make every team better; it would be a 180 degree shift for Harris and Co to sign a FA to a 350M+ contract
-
-
Hoerner would be a fantastic fit. with Tucker moving on and Cassie traded, would the Cubs be interested in some LH power and trade 1 year of Hoerner for 3 years of Carpenter? saves the Cubs, who are right at the CB tax level, about some money as well, about 9M.
-
2026 Tigers are better with Giolito or Bassitt than without, so I am all in on either
-
a black guy twice got elected POTUS
-
we probably could have predicted 32M as the ask as Soto has the largest pre-free agency salary ever of 31M. Boras and Skubal are both very interested in setting new price markers, first with the arbitration award, and then in free agency (for both years and total comp). and there in no way an arbitrator decides Skubal is worth less than Price, so Skubal has already won

Week Eighteen: Detroit Lions (8-8) @ Chicago Bears (11-5)
RatkoVarda replied to MichiganCardinal's topic in Detroit Lions
kinda weird that they started Eguakun two weeks in a row and then just let the Browns poach him today. but he was really, really bad last week. Colon or Glasgow I guess will start at C. -
13. Dan Campbell, Lions, he is lucky he works for the team he does.

guys with too much noise in their stance need to calm it down, and guys who are too rigid need to be more dynamic
