He's basically been mid.

In this case, it is likely just his normal post deadline presser.

Scott Harris will address the media at 7pm.

I just care about the hitters. The pitching attrition is baked into how I view the rest of the season.

Chafin traded to Texas.

August and September is going to be a nightmare on the sales department at Comerica if this continues. If you end 2024 with games like this, it's going to be rough on everyone. They need guys back as soon as possible.

This iteration of the offense has almost no chance.

I think they will finish off the trades during today's game.

I'll give Harris a 40% pass on Eduardo. He didn't sign the contract. But Flaherty is his signing and it's a sellers market. He has to trade him and extract some decent value.

We need to see if waiting till the last minute works out for Harris. He's done it two years in a row with their best asset. If he does not trade Flaherty, it is a huge fail.

They need spots on the 40 man because they have been decimated. So him coming back August 15th doesn't help much.

I have no faith in Mize, but I want him as an option the next few years.

He's a better option that whatever they have currently at Toledo. And the only starter in the high minors worth a damn is Jobe. You need options and he is a pitcher. You aren't relying on him. As opposed to Tork, who has to play every day. You can't put up with substandard performance from that position.

This is some Hinch word salad.

Via Ken Rosenthal:

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.
