    The Rangers had Prince Fielder on the DL for a year because their insurance on their share only kicked in if he was injured and not released. They worked it out with the insurance company to release him and freed up a 40 man roster spot. Assuming that Tigers do have insurance. Assuming that they cannot avail themselves of it if Miggy says he can play.

    Kingston Liniak released

    maybe but giving DET ABs to Willi and Victor over Baddoo and Daz seems dumb

    Toledo has one OF (Carpenter)

    C- Haase, Rogers, Sanchez, with Dingler probably still in future plans - with so many problems, this may just be it unfortunately 1b - Tork; need to have back up plan, which might be Schoop 2b - Javy SS - 3 elite SS and Swanson will be available - get one 3b - goodbye to Candy; Kreidler; Clemens?; rando cheap FA LF - Meadows, Baddoo, Carpenter (DH too) CF - Greene RF- need RH power Castros, Victor, Daz, Short - irrelevant

    just give him a literal GIANT CHECK for $40M; stretching it out might give Chris too many BS excuses over the next few years to not do something

    not sure what he can do with one good back up catcher, newbie Greene, a struggling Baez, and 11 guys who should be in AAA or released.

    how can people look at this and not fire someone? maybe the better question is, how can people look at this?

    Having the DH spot available will help; now they just need 4-6 more ML bats

    4 singles, a BB and 2 HBPs. They are awful and boring.

    let's see what Ali Sanchez can do

    Fri Sat Sun, Sept 30 to Oct 2, they can do a nice tribute weekend. hell make it all week. here's a check for $40M, thanks for everything. we have a cushy Tiger ambassador job if you are interested

    Boyd, Fulmer, JV, JD, Castellanos, Upton, Kinsler = Alex Lange

    when DD traded Fister, he said he had a list of 1 guy he had to have and then reached out to 10-15 teams; Nats agreed to include Ray, so trade got done; I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that Al is afraid - terrified really - to make a mistake; every transaction he does is from The Basics of GMing from 1986; conservative, old school; get a handful of guys and hope one works out

    many of the young arms, regardless of level, are going to hit their innings limits soon. So come September none of those guys will be pitching in Det

    from article But as the Tigers rinse and repeat the underwhelming feelings of the past few trade deadlines — Daniel Norris for Reese Olson, Cameron Maybin for Zack Short, Nick Castellanos for Alex Lange and Paul Richan, Shane Greene for Joey Wentz and Travis Demeritte — it’s all too clear the team, which had such high hopes entering the season, is stuck in a spiral of misery.

    Kreidler homers
  19. RatkoVarda
    Carpenter homers

    Brown has a very short track record but he performing at or above the T Madden/D Smith level right now. Brown would have been a solid return for Det.
  21. RatkoVarda
    it is like a Moroccan bazar, with all sort of players flying back and forth, and all this dude can do is save Chris a little bit of cash
  22. RatkoVarda
    still important
  23. RatkoVarda
    Other Prospects Of Note from FG Gipson-Long, 24, was the club’s sixth rounder in 2019 and has had success in the low minors as a starter, sitting 90-94 with an above-average slider and plenty of strikes.

    finally!
