Liniak got an over slot deal (900K on a 533K slot). He signed in 2018. Garko is clearing out the slugs from Avila and Chadd's disastrous rebuild.

Cabrera is getting the money...even if he 'walks away.'

I think you've found one of the few hitters in baseball who is worse than what we have.

This is what great baseball used to look like:

The Tigers could do a lot worse than a bunch of high floor utility guys. Look at this season, we have no space-fillers for guys who are having historically bad offensive seasons.

a defeated man:

7 wonderful years!!

Soto, Chafin, and Jimenez do wonders for a team that is this bad offensively and defensively. It's almost like they have less value on a horrendous team.

another error

Hutchison pitched decently. The offense and defense are an abomination and Lange's numbers are starting to regress a bit.

The euphemism "dumb as a box of rocks" comes to mind with this team.

Baez- contract Greene - he is good Tork - maybe Nobody else.

Baez has to be like the 5th best player on a good team. Not a building block or change agent type at all.

Joe Ryan threw 62 four seam fastballs(80% of total) in yesterday's game. The Tigers averaged a 74.6mph exit velocity and had 16 whiffs.

Henning despises that the Tigers built the 2006-2014 run from free agency and trades. He thinks that all rebuilds have to be organic from the farm system and all free agent contracts are poison. He blames fans for demanding that money gets spent to improve. Then blames fans for the contracts turning out bad, not the people who signed the contracts.

Alexander pitched fine.

Make the argument for Avila to re-rebuild. Tell me what you see that should allow him that leeway. Not for Socal...for others.

I have no idea what you are arguing in this thread. Is Avila good or bad? Should he lead the organization going forward? I say he is bad and is clueless and has no idea how to build a winning major league org. I think I've been pretty clear in my analysis. It's clear he can't handle a trade deadline. We have prima facie evidence of that. The free agents he has signed have more or less been disasters. Make your point and I will respond. No need to S%%tpost. If you want to argue against my opinion, feel free.

I think they will need to have a conversation with Cabrera about 2023. He has hit the milestones and he's getting the money either way. I wonder if he wants to put himself through this nonsense again.

This guy has overvalued his own assets every trade deadline. The deadline is a benchmark to incrementally increase the talent level of your organization every year. He can't read a market and he can't honestly assess his own roster. And he is in constant CYA mode making excuses with his media mouthpieces. Even Lynn has turned on him so it's close to being over. All you need is an honest executive who can tell the owner that they are years away. Then allow him to make trades to really rework the talent level in this organization.
