OMG...fireworks, really!! The horror...the humanity....🤣🤣
Al long as he, along of hundreds of NFL players, are not harmed blowing them up....who cares? It's a nothing-burger.
And people want to rush even more minor leaguers up here. We finished the rebuild last season and then fired our GM. Now it's time for our new GM to rebuild. Another 3 to 6 years of losing....
We need roster spots for Skubal, Rodriguez, Vest, Greene and Baddoo. Shreve hasn't really Impressed me this season. The having to face 3 hitter rule really hurts his effectiveness. Could he be moved or sent down?
Was Chafin even offered a fair contract in Detroit? Fulmer and Chafin were mostly effective last season and there's only one reason they weren't kept around...money. Having a low payroll and maximizing profit is the goal of any business. Let's see what happens this off-season when a few contracts come off the books.
Fulmer...soon to be a FA...traded.
Soto...up for arbitration...traded
Candelario..up for arbitration..released.
Chafin...FA...unsigned
And there are several other examples. So yeah, there's a track record of not paying players and either letting them walk or trading them.
But a player under contract? Harris will keep them. So Schoop will be here all season unless some team is really hard up for a 2nd baseman. His trade value is as close to zero as it gets.
The next few weeks may even determine if the Tigers are....buyers? With quality SP coming back, followed by Greene and Baddoo, this team may be ready to take off? I think we have an advantage in strength of schedule.
I agree. If he wants to opt out, trade him for whatever we can get. Harris probably wants him to opt out to save the money. Miggy, Schoop and Rodriguez off the books would make for a cheap payroll.
