Yeah, I get it. Even if they somehow win, they would face a Seattle team that really pitches. And then, maybe Toronto. It's a long, long road to the World Series without getting the bye in the wildcard round. Especially as a 6 seed.
Agreed. The entire Bregman situation should have been handled differently. Make an offer to Boras and tell him in a week, we'll be looking elsewhere and the offer is gone. But Harris let Boras shop our offer around until he got a better offer. Leaving the Tigers out in the cold without a 3rd baseman. I'm not sure who else was available but at least we could have had a chance to find someone.
