Suarez..opened the can!

So you wanna play baseball, huh?

Suarez with a home run. He hit 13 home runs with Seattle after the trade while hitting under .200? Did any Tiger hit 13 home runs after the trade deadline? Maybe Riley? MTS is gonna blow up when the Tigers sign him...🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, Maeda fell off a cliff. Not too many saw that coming. His recent stats before we signed him weren't like the stats of Paddack or Morton. Their demise was totally predictable and like others have said, we woulda been better off without them. Even if they didn't cost very much. And keeping Melton was a no brainer, he has the chance to be very good. But it seems like we may have been able to offer some other player(s) maybe?

Your insults really don't make much difference. Going after the best possible players is all I want. Not looking at the results 2 months later and forming an opinion. At the time of the trades, every Tigers player they got had horrible stats. Yes, Finnegan worked out but how about Paddack and Morton? Their ineffectivness cost us any chance at the division. And those results were more predictable than players we didn't get falling off the table.

Looking at the stats at the time of the trades? The Tigers only went after the cheapest and least desirable players they could find. Paddack? Really? A reject from a total bottom feeder of a team? I bet you were overjoyed that Harris hung onto 15 2nd base prospects. It gives you something to keep track of all summer...🤣🤣

The Tigers should have aggressively gone after players to improve our team last winter, this trade deadline and this winter. No more of these broken down and washed up lottery ticket type players. The pitchers they brought in this trade deadline cost us a chance at the division and the bye week.

I didn't want JV back last year or this year. No thanks. If he isn't washed up, he's close. I don't even think he would be in the top 7 of our starting pitchers. But I have no say it what Detroit does. Boyd? I started wanting him in 2024 when he came back from injury with Cleveland. Can you imagine Skubsl and Boyd in our starting rotation? I say we would have won the division for sure along with the bye.

The results on the field are all that matters. Not some random fans feelings...

And just think, the same money that Cobb got could have gotten us Matthew Boyd. He signed for 2 years @30 million. An All Star. But go ahead, sign JV for 15 more million. SMH

Whenever any of his players get here. I certainly didn't feel any confidence when the Harris pitchers were on the mound. Avila's guys got us to the playoffs.

Flacco played on a short week, too. After a tough game against Green Bay. I'm kinda rooting for the old guy...😆

He would have to sign somebody better than our top 5 options. With Jobe coming back, he won't want to sign anybody decent, even if they would sign for a short contract. Ok, maybe he'll sign a pitcher coming back from injury or somebody on a prove-it contract. Hopefully he learned his lesson with Cobb. And Maeda.

Yeah, but some of those Tiger teams? Most games, it wasn't a question of if they would win, but how they would win. It seemed like JV may throw a no-hitter every time he took the mound.

Pittsburgh proving that division games are tough in other divisions, too.. Cincinnati? Joe Freakin' Flacco?

You're not kidding. I looked it up and there is a lot of speculation it will be the Dodgers. Or Yankees. $400 million or more.

If Flaherty doesn't opt out, I could see Harris not signing a SP. Maybe a couple arms for the BP but you just never know how they will work out. BP arms are so unpredictable. I could see Harris using limited resources on a RH 3rd baseman....or a RH DH? Suarez? Maybe...

Seeing Aaron Rodgers playing irritates me. I want him to lose. And I still say he won't make it thru the season.

DD proved you can trade away every bit of minor league talent and still win big, if you have unlimited money to spend on payroll. And that will work for several years. But it will eventually catch up to a team and cause several years of fans suffering. I wouldn't trade those seasons, as a fan, even if it wasn't possible to continue the winning. Those years were, by far, the most successful seasons of my lifetime. And I'm old as dirt. 🤣🤣

The problem may be not spending the money we would have given Skubal and letting every player walk after team control of them is over. Keep bringing up talented and much less expensive rookies to replace the experienced quality players. The Tampa way...

I agree 100%. But....last season we were in desperate need of a quality edge rusher and all we got was a player on his last legs and ready to retire. The Lions will find a body from practice squads to fill in for a few weeks and live with the results.

This is what legal gambling has done with football and other sports;

This superstition tradition started 3 years ago? I never heard of it. Those fans look like idiots... https://www.mlb.com/news/mariners-fan-rally-shoe-wild-card-win

You kids shouldn't be so negative. 😆
