I agree, trading for Skenes isn't happening. And looking at the 15m he gave Cobb? He may as well have signed Boyd, the Cubs got him for 2 years and 30m.
Sale is making 22m this season. And he's in his late 30's. So it would be a rental, kind of an expensive one. I really don't wanna see any top prospects traded to Atlanta. Find some AA pitcher nobody has ever heard of...<cough cough>
I saw some people on Twitter saying the Tigers should trade a top prospect package to Atlanta for Chris Sale. Thankfully, he just went to the IL with a fractured rib cage. I want no part of him on this team, we could find someone less expensive. Both in salary and the players needed to trade for. And I really don't like Sale...😃
I guess I've never noticed unearned run(s) without there being an error(s). He still gets the loss though, I really hope Hinch gives up using a "starter." Our bullpen arms are just too unpredictable.
We need to get Flaherty straightened out and Olson back. Is there any help down on the farm? I don't see Harris trading any of our top prospects for quality arms but maybe he will?
I read in the Free Press this morning that Olson had a pretty good rehab start. He even threw a few changeups. Hinch says he'll need at least one more start.
And you know Hinch is going to be stubborn and show us how smart he is by keep doing it. Like I said, Sawyer may have given up a 1st inning run. You gotta protect these guys. /s
Strange stat of the day; The Tigers haven't won a Saturday game since April 26th. The best record in baseball and they haven't won in Saturday in almost 2 months
Jason mentioned the Tampa pitcher who got hit with a foul ball in the dugout against Baltimore. Hunter Bigge. Pretty gruesome. 105 MPH liner to his face.
Yeah, he's been pretty unlucky. But he's had very good swings and laces some balls. Eventually, those will fall in. I'm more concerned about Carpenter. He looks lost at the plate with some of those half swings.
