The youth on this team seems to have energized them. Also, like Jason said last night, these guys all played together at lower levels. So there's that team building already in place. Comradarie
True but I meant more like being set for life. It's great money for as long as it lasts but somebody that young may want to think what they'll do in a few years.
I agree he'll be given every chance. We have to pay Javy for 3 more seasons? That blows any chance of signing a big name SS, so we need a young player to step forward. If Sweeny shows he can't handle it, we'll either sign a utility type player or trade for one. Time will tell...
Many people have said the 2024 Tigers would struggle to finish .500. I say our pitching has been way better than I ever thought possible. It seems like we call guys up from the minors who struggle at that level but come up here and are mostly effective. Pretty surprising.
If the Tigers trade for or sign a SS, Zach's gone. If he is here, it means we failed to upgrade a very important position. I just don't see any upside with him on the roster, but Hinch seems to really like the scrub. π
