Go home Jon, you're drunk!

Reminds me of ballmich

I wonder if Greg Abbott will make a campaign issue out of this

Honestly, the negotiations seem mostly like Kabuki theater to me... so long as His Czarness isn't personally involved anyway.

Truly terrible broadcaster, I'll never understand why some like him... just one example from last year was asking Kris Bryant what he thought about likely not being a Cub after the trade deadline while he was representing the Cubs in the All Star Game. Just classless.

Definitely.... we'll see if they land someone else!

Darn, he's going home lol

The richest man in the world has thoughts on his Oligarchs.

I don't know if they'll get him, but I'm glad that they are at least trying for Grienke.... makes a ton of sense for a 4/5 starter and someone for the younger pitchers to spend time with. Could be a Kenny Rogers-esque situation.

I'd imagine there's still a chance the Tigers land a 5th starter in free agency, but the competition is stiff enough where we may want to get comfortable with the idea of having to plug that hole with Alexander and Co. Landing Chafin lessens the blow there.... not landing any additional pitching improvements at all would have been a disappointment.

I had a feeling that Chafin would be one of their signings... Stavenhagen has thrown his name around a lot during this offseason lol

The Russians literally shot and killed a photo journalist who works for this network... and yet they keep bringing on Kremlin Barbie to spew talking points.

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2022-zips-projections-detroit-tigers/ This was the piece I was referencing... the bullpen as a whole gets very low marks. Aside from Cisnero and Funkhouser being more consistent strike throwers, they really need Alex Lange to be better this year. He started to show some promise in September, especially with the curveball. He needs to continue improving

IIRC, their ZIPS projection piece on the Tigers after the winter absolutely hated the Tigers pen. I didn't read all 30 teams, but their combined value has to be lower than most other BPs. As you suggest, this is a function of having young and relatively inexperienced talent potentially in high leverage roles. Just as we wish Tork/Greene successful seasons that involve chasing AL ROY (which, if happens, in all likelihood means they are much better than 74-88), we don't know that until we see them in the majors. Not to mention the starters and young relievers who (outside of ERod) are all still trying to prove themselves. More questions than answers, but they have a lot of promise. I still feel pretty good going into next year.

Good luck to the rest of that division lol

Wait, these guys are still at it?

14 cents ain't much of a bet lol

Also, where's Trump? I was assured that there was no one tougher on Russia than Trump

I'll believe that Biden isn't running when I see signs that Biden isn't running.

I still wonder if committing Belarusian forces would cause Luka internal problems...

Awful. And yet Tucker will come on tonight and make excuses as per usual
