We don't need to trade Skubal to get Holliday...if we can get to the top of the draft, we can draft his brother..or Jace Laviolette

The 1974 Steelers draft with 4 HOF players is a high bar to clear...but who knows what these guys are capable of over the long haul

I saw a stat online that showed he was handling velocity. If he can help...he should be up here

What do you see in his current play that suggests he shouldn't be back until spring?

Re Tork...if the K's are offset by more walks and a higher OBP...I'm OK with that

Those Penthouse forum letters were 100% legit

Tork...2 for 4 with another dinger...a 441 ft bomb to left center. Avg up to .250 with an .827 OPS. Will we see him in Detroit before September?

The Chisox seem to have been undone by a really poor culture...lazy and entitled Chris needs to channel his inner Mike and throw a bucket of cash at Juan Soto...sell him on being this generations Miggy...do whatever it takes, man

Pre deadline...it looked like the floor for the return on Flaherty was the comp pick in the 30's ...where McGonigle was picked. The main piece of the return is Laranzo, who slots in just behind McGonigle in our top 30. Switch hitting C with some pop...ok by me. If there was a deal with the Yankees that was torpedoed by the medical reports..it would be interesting to hear what that deal looked like. If we tank badly enough...maybe we can get some lotto luck and come away with Jace LaViolette ...plays OF in college but some think his future is at 1B. He's the Tork replacement... But we'll likely have to pick in the top 3 to get him

Be careful of cat scratches...you can get lock jaw from those

Loosers love loosing

"F you all...I'm keeping Skubal"

Edweirdo behaved erratically?

Feel free to research that one...Im not 😉

Lombard isn't enough for Flaherty

We got McGonigle with pick 37...so any return in a Flaherty deal woukd have tobe in thatvrange of a prospect

Dickerson said it best...he's getting caught in the rocking chair

I saw a chart on X recently that showed how guys in the minors are doing against various pitch speed. Tork was hitting over .300 on 94+mph pitches. That surprised me

Per Stevenhagen...Flaherty scratched from start...no deal is "in place"

We got McGonigle with pick 37...so any return in a Flaherty deal would have to be in that range of a prospect

Injuries and Tork's regression have killed this season.

I wanted them to sign Siebert for no other reason than to call him "Sonny"

Was Whitley allowed to be traded at the time of the JV trade? I recall aome diacussion that he was not

ESPN+ Had a write up on what teams should do. Essentially...Tigers should trade every tradeable asset...esp Flaherty. Opinions were split on keeping or trading Skubal. The consensus of the people they talked to in baseball was that we're building something here ( a sleeping giant per one guy) but we're not quite there yet.
