I'm so confused by that twitter post. Looks like there's 8 unsigned players.

I wouldn't trade Liranzo and Lee. I was saying one or the other with Jung. I think Jung is done in Detroit...... I'll be shocked if there's a deal done with him not included. I just think he's fallen too far down the totem pole.

Ryan O'Hearn and Max Muncy would be a fraction of the cost and same production....... But I'd love to get O'Hearn. Something like Lirazono for him.

Come on. Take a swig of Jack Daniels and throw out your guess at least.

K. Eugene Suarez. Whats your offer for him? Jung, + Liranzo or Lee I think would get it done. Thoughts?

What deals would you want? I don't think the Dodgers can match what the Phillies could offer. Their farm system is a lot more barren than it has been in years. (At least until their really young guys start shooting up rankings). I'd literally take Andrew Painter over the top 3 LAD prospects for any player. Painter has a fantastic chance of being 95% of Paul Skenes. Dodgers don't have a lot right now that'd move the needle the way the Phillies can. Maybe, maybe if they built something around Dalton Rushing +. But even then, I like Painter and the PHillies prospects more than the Dodgers... and it's not even particularly close.

I'm not necessarily saying they'd re-invest the money. I was just saying they could if that money was free. Hypothetically next year, Skubal and Painter look something like this: Skubal: 18-7 2.25 ERA/ 1.05 WHIP/ 28 quality Starts Painter: 12-8 3.00 ERA/ 1.12 WHIP/ 24 Quality Starts Really worth 40 million diff there? I don't think so. But Like I said, if the Phillies offered Painter, Crawford and Abel for Skubal, you do it. Painter has a heck of a shot at being at least 85% of what Skubal is. I'd rather have Painter, Crawford and Abel for the next 10 years than just Skubal. Regardless of the money. If we let Skubal walk for a draft pick, then I'd be very disappointed in Harris. The smart play is to deal him this off season. ESPECIALLY if we do win the WS this year (And I'm not sure we'll even get there). Sure do hope so though.

I think there's a difference from having nice things and having Skubal. Skubal is a perennial cy young candidate. But the question is, for how much longer. I'd rather not pay a SP 40 million+/year when you can get a guy that will give you 85%+ quality starts for 15-20 million a year. Let the dumb teams spend 40 million, you get 85% of the production for 15 and then spread the other 35 million on position players that help you every day. You come out on top every time. Now if Skubal signs for 30 million its a different story. But he's not going to..... We can have nice things, but spend on the nice things that help you every day, not every 5th. Not to mention if he does have a bad game, you're spending 40 million dollars a year to have 10 days (1/3 of a month) of unproductive ball players. No ones perfect, I get that. But one bad game is literally 1/3 of a month for starters...... Rough. I'd rather have a hitter have two or three bad games and be great eight or seven out of the 10 games.... Just my opinion.

Scuse my language. But someone needs to tell this pussy to put his pads on and play like a man. Dude signed a contract, gave his word that he'd play for a specified time for the amount of money HE AGREED UPON! He needs to play his contract out then go after a new one. Lions should sue him for being an ahole. I get that this is what happens. But if a dude signs a contract, he should know wtf the definition of a contract is. Man up Ahole Anzalone.

I'd say 65% of Red Wings fans want to fire Yzerman for the wings sucking. They were left with NOTHING after mortgaging their future for so long. Of course it's going to take time to rebuild. Now in Yzerman's defense, the draft gods (no blasphmetic pun intended, heaven forgive me please) were not with him. How many times has he been shafted when the draft literally determines the future of your team 80% of the time? Red wings mortgaged the future now people hate the dude that is trying his hardest to fix the organization. Harris, if he lets Skubal walk for 1 pick instead of 3 top prospects, will set the Tigers back like the Red Wings have been set back. Maybe not as drastically since the Tigers have a great farm system. But still, there's so much more value then trading him. Even if they do keep him, realistically they get 2-3 good years. You really want to commit 40 million dollars for 8 to 10 years for 2 or 3 good years? Come on now. Like someone said before, we got him for his prime, let someone else pay for his decline. If we can get Painter for Skubal and others, its a no brainer. You hope Skubal gives you a chance to win 1 out of every 5 days. I'd rather commit 40 million to a position player that helps me win 5 out of 5 days and spend 20 million on a pitcher that's 85% as good as Skubal.........

How's that working for the Red Wings fans lol

I'm totally fine with trading him this off season for a teams top two prospects and some throw ins. Especially if one is a top 5 pitcher. If the Phillies offer Painter, Crawford and Abel for Skubal, you do it. Skubal may be the best pitcher. But if he gives up 2 ER a game (on average) and Painter gives up 2ER or 3 ER, and you save 30 million a season for five years that you can use to produce more WAR for another position player, you do it. You win more in the long run. Its EXTREMELY rare for a pitcher to pitch Cy young worthy after the age of 34..... Lets get a 22 year old to anchor our rotation, a LF to solidify our OF and a #3-4 starter to help Mize, Jobe and Hamm going forward. If Harris lets Skubal walk for a draft pick, it will be a catastrophe just like the Angels letting Ohtani walk.

How's that working out for the Angels w/ Shoehei...... If we were smart, we'd deal Skubs this winter....

Either that 3B coach should be fired or the player should be cut from team. Thats just stupid af right there......

Crazy part is his peripherals look decent too.... Almost career norms. He's not even getting hit hard. Just like the worst luck in world maybe? https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/tommy-kahnle-592454?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb

I just think its fun to guess what a trade could be..... Or what an armchair GM would propose. Guess I'm alone lol.

JC. What do you think it'd cost for Alcantara or Keller? I wasn't saying Jung alone. Alcantara's stock is plumetting even after tonights debacle. I think Jung + a B level prospect would probably get Alcantara or Jung + Hamm just for Keller... I still think my first trade proposal is pretty much even for the 3 of Hayes, Bednar and Keller.......

Enns will probably be a throw in on a deal for a SP just because he's an arm/body they can put in to a rotation as a #5/6 starter right away to ride out the rest of the season. Teams are going to just want an innings eater/body they can use to cover the games they'd lose in a trade. I think he gets included on any deal for a starter.

I'd give up Jung for Alcanta or Mitch Keller. Wonder if that would be enough.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/07/trade-deadline-outlook-detroit-tigers.html - Anyone got the premium version that can provide cliff notes? I see Cedric Mullins. Not really sure why we'd need another OF...... I think 3B, RP and one more starter is the main needs.

What do you all think it'd cost to get Suarez or Alcantara?

Seen his name floated around quite a bit. I'd take a chance on him. He had a 60 hit tool coming up through the system. Even if he can up his line to something like .280/.320/.400+ I'd take that. He might be the best defensive 1st basemen in MLB.....

I wonder if our GM has the cajones to make a deal inter division. Some good relievers in the division that could be on the market. Anyone have an idea what a trade would look like for that? Jung for Clase? Would the Indians do that? Would the Tigers? Honestly I don't get why teams hate trading inside their own division. If it makes your team better, do the deal. Hopefully Harrison feels the same way and can convince the Indians or Twins GM of the same.....

Would you do the deal I proposed?

Something fun that is specifically for the trade deadline. Feel free to throw out your ideas and share about others trade proposals. I'll start with one to know your thoughts. Tigers Send: Thayron Liranzo, Jace Jung, Dietrich Enns, Jaden Hamm, Franyerber Montilla, and Joseph Montalvo Pirates send: Mitch Keller, David Bednar, Ke'Bryan Hayes Maybe a little steep, but I think that could work. Hesitant to keep Jaden Hamm in but this gives Pirates some younger players to build around. Gives the Tigers a rotation lock, closer, and an upgrade (albeit not that big) at 3B. The Defense upgrade alone though could be +2 wins or so at the hot corner. Thoughts?
