The Tigers have needed a 3rd baseman ever since Harris took over and let Candelario walk. He got Vierling, a decent player but not All Star caliber. Another 2nd baseman in our system? Options around the infield? Maybe at 2nd base but we still need a RH bat for either 3rd base or RF. And SS is a question mark. We didn't sign Torres to fill a need, 2nd base was covered. We signed him because he was available. Let Hinch figure it out.

Yeah, we only have 184 2nd basemen in our organization. Maybe find a LH OF bat next? SMH....sign Colt to a very long term contract and then sign another 2nd baseman. Move Keith to 1st base, I guess?

Chicago scored a TD but it was called back for holding. SOB.

The Giants say "hold my beer..."

Any one of those 3 guys would be a huge improvement for the Bears. Vrabel makes the most sense, he's young enough and has had success. But isn't he more of a defensive coach? I think Johnson would probably be better for Caleb....IDK.

Philly may not have an easy time against Dallas if Hurts can't play. He's in concussion protocol.

The Bears saga...gotta feel sorry for their fans;

If he wouldn't have shown signs of slipping, he would have already been signed by a big market team. As for signing Skubal or Greene when they become free agents or extending them beforehand? They'll be walking before the Tigers spend that kind of money. That's why it's important to draft and develop well so we have replacements ready. Spend money or bank it, that's the Tigers 2 choices. And so far, they're saving it.

It's not our money. And it's also not like the Tigers would use that money to sign somebody else. Spend it on him or save it, that's our 2 options. As fans, we should want the Tigers to try to fill their needs with quality players. If it doesn't work out, at least they tried. And it's not like we got value from the last Miggy contract or the Javy contract.

According to this article, the Tigers already tried to extend him. And it speculated that there's no way Boras would allow him to sign an extension. He may be looking at a $400 million contract. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2024/12/25/tarik-skubal-contract-detroit-tigers-400-million-scott-boras/77061451007/

No, he's a Complete Unknown. Like....a Rolling Stone! 😆

I still say they should have made a big push to get Harbaugh. He was their QB for years and is a throwback to the Ditka years and Ditka is a Chicago legend. As a Lion fan, I'm glad they didn't but it really seems like a huge Bears swing and miss.

Get a good coach and a help on the O line and they could be a problem. They've lost a few close games.

It's also an age issue. They're lucky they found Purdy in the draft. A team with a QB, TE, and receivers but no running game? It should be a beat down. Time for a little payback. 😆

I think Randy meant we'll be able to see the Viking/Packers game since it was moved to the national timeslot.

As Bob Dylan says "The Times They Are a-Changin'" 😆

The guys love playing for Campbell;

"Kind of crazy that a 13-2 Vikings team could still very realistically end up the #6 seed." But in your scenario, Minnesota loses out. So they would be a 13-4 #6 seed.

Yeah, a #5 seed. Play at the #4 seed?

In Minnesota. I don't know, the Vikings are the luckiest team in the NFL. The Lions injuries have derailed our championship run.

I guess we'll have to root for the Packers next week. I feel ill...

Bummer....he had a pass knocked away, too.

We really could use a closer who misses bats.

Did you play it? Nice win!
