Hope some are salvageable. Always a crapshoot with pitchers.

yep. from 2023 draft, Wilson and Dunford have been awful, but mostly injured; Dickerson injured; maybe they get healthy in 2028 and shoot through the minors like Dylan Smith.

Hall, Schiefelbein, Massey and Swanson are all injured 2024 drafted pitchers. I think Hall is shoulder, other 3 are elbows

ESPN

3. Detroit Tigers

On the days Tarik Skubal pitches, the Tigers could be the best team in baseball; it's possible that in the postseason, he could be his generation's version of Orel Hershiser or Madison Bumgarner, propelling his team through round after round of playoffs to the World Series.

But the Tigers might have Skubal for only the rest of this year and next season, before he, advised by his agent Scott Boras, heads into free agency and becomes maybe the first $400 million pitcher in history.

Now is the time for Detroit to make a push for its first championship in more than four decades. And for Scott Harris, the team's president of baseball operations, that means adding a couple of high-impact relievers capable of generating a lot of swing-and-misses.

Hopefully he does the right thing.

his trading ledger is very good; of course, he is dealing from the other column this year

odd how the Cobb fiasco cascaded to the rotation and then the bullpen; if they had signed any rando who could give them 80 innings and a under 5.00 era, they would be in a much better spot

I think this recent hellride changes what Harris does, but also it 100% guarantees that Harris will have to do something.

If they blow a 15.5 game lead, he cannot have every story include:

"and Harris' moves at the trade deadline showed he was either too risk adverse or simply too afraid to trade prospects, and too stubborn to depart from his 8 year rebuilding plan."

But they'll have the best ranked farm system!

Have you seen the plaque from Baseball America? it is so shiny!

change for the sake of change usually does not work, but the line up needs some change for the sake of change

hopefully Suarez can be had for a comparable price

I am off about $10K somewhere, but this is mostly correct; they spent over 104.8% of their pool

in their motion asking the court to unseal the docs, the DOJ wrote that the court did not have the authority to unseal the docs

I find it hard to believe the guy who said he wanted to f*** his own daughter, barged into the Miss Teen USA dressing room, raped Carrol, bragged when you're a star, you can sexually assault anyone, called Epstein a great guy, and wished Maxwell well, would be involved in child sex trafficking, even though he bought the sex trafficker's airplane that he rode on 7 times.

PPS: Parker Meadows also becomes tradeable if we trade for someone like Bo Bichette...

The first place Blue Jays are not trading their starting SS so they can downgrade CF from Varsho to Meadows.

all together, there are 666 unsigned players. coincidence? i think not

Tigers need to win 3 of their last 60 games to avoid the franchise's 8th season with 100 losses.

Fingers crossed!

I'll go big but I am sure pizza boy would never take on the contract and the Angels would probably never do the trade.  

Mike Trout for Jackson Jobe, Bryce Rainer, and another pitching prospect...maybe Melton?  Maybe the angels would just laugh at it 

Harris would be fired 10 seconds later.

will we get another look as future Tiger David Bednar tonight?

Q: Who was president when Epstein mysteriously died in prison?

A: The alleged suicide took place in between the end of Obama’s second term and the beginning of the Biden administration.

Another step to turning into a Confederation of Dunces

MAGA is so insanely stupid. When the USA is in any organization, we dominate it - the direction, the budget, the communication, the values, the goals, the priorities.

The Paris Accords were totally watered down to US standards.

The Trans Pacific Partnership was set up in large part to benefit us.

USAID created a massive return on a small investment to build goodwill around the globe.

All the lies they told about Obama, are now true with Trump, shrinking for being the global leader to just a banana republic for his family and flunkies - and now they love it.

We won't be able to rebuild this damage in my lifetime. What a waste.

such a good thing we did not get the minority woman as POTUS

Yes, we are. Zero moral authority to tell anyone anywhere how to treat others. This is what the "Christians" wanted.

CBS Reportedly Lost $40 Million on Colbert’s Late Show This Year

Paramount owns the Ed Sullivan Theatre, so they are probably charging themselves some exorbitant rent for the Late Show; that helps to show a "loss" on paper

i would go 8/320; and since they control him for one more year, just make it 9/360. all done.

now on to Greene.
