2 more years of control making no money...and he has no trade value. I want him starting in Detroit.

That's brutal. He wasn't pitching well at all. But he needed the reps.

Lol the tweet buried the lede on Mize. The Tigers have announced the following roster moves: • Placed INF Javier Báez on the medical emergency/bereavement list • Optioned LHP Easton Lucas to Triple A Toledo • Recalled C Dillon Dingler (#38) and INF Ryan Kreidler from Triple A Toledo • Selected LHP Bryan Sammons (#62) from Triple A Toledo • To make room for Sammons on the 40-man roster, transferred RHP Casey Mize to the 60-day injured list

Flaherty trade incoming.

He was optioned to Toledo...maybe that can change. Either way, they need bodies who can eat innings.

That's what the money is for. Scott Harris is paid handsomely to figure this out. No excuses.

Dingler's defense and framing is more important than his offense right now.

The bad injury luck lineup.

Ryan Vilade recalled.

Looks like Comcast and Bally will have a deal soon.

I don't see it happening until well into next season.

Clase is unfair.

Very nice sendoff performance by Flaherty. Time to make the best deal possible.

The pitching in Toledo is horrendous. They don't have anything down there.

Joey Wentz's flat 90 mph fastball against J-Ram....it ended up in Akron.

#Tigers lineup today at Cleveland Guardians: Matt Vierling (3B) Colt Keith (2B) Justyn-Henry Malloy (DH) Riley Greene (CF) Mark Canha (LF) Wenceel Pérez (RF) Gio Urshela (1B) Javier Báez (SS) Jake Rogers (C) Tarik Skubal (LHP)

A lot of the online discourse is that Jobe needs to be called up becuase he isn't challenged in AA and possibly AAA. Then there are service time manipulation takes. I remember that they did bring up Verlander in late 2005 for spot starts. I wouldn't mind that for Jobe. But they probably aren't going to give him a regular turn.

I think the pitching injuries have given us the correct answer. If you need to use Maeda out of necessity, you are cooked.

He's org fodder IMO. But it seems like you can call him up if you need help for a week or two. Plus they have a need for right handed bats in platoon situations.

Pitching injuries have blunted my optimism from the past few weeks. But the overall energy and fight of the team has me more interested in each game. I’m still trading everyone not nailed down except for Skubal.
