I trust Harris and company to evaluate and develop any potential prospects in a trade more than Avila. Just look at the Verlander trade. We ended up with a weak hitting backup catcher when all was said and done. Yeah, we saved money from the JV contract (if we didn't cover part or all of it.) But I think Harris would get better players for Skubal. But, IDK, I don't think Skubal will be traded. Just the fan reaction would be too much. After 2026, the Tigers will say they made him a good offer but Boras wanted 10 years at 40m per. There's just NO way!! Offer him 120m for 3 years and let his walk.

That pizza spear? That was last season. All they do now is hug when they hit home runs.

Left shoulder pain. It was from when he tried to score against Cincinnati a few weeks ago. The guy really is a gamer...he's been playing in a bit of pain.

Troy Melton making his MLB debut for the Tigers Wednesday. In Toledo, he's pitched 36 innings and has 56 strikeouts. 14 strikeouts per 9 innings. That's kind of a lot.

You see this a lot with Skubal. Hitters don't wanna get to 2 strikes so they swing early. And make outs anyway. It's why Skenes is at only 79 pitches in the 6th inning.

The secret to beating Pittsburgh when Skenes pitches is to make him throw a lot of pitches and then beat up on the Pirates bullpen. Pittsburgh may be 22 games under .500 but they're actually 2 games over .500 at home. A kinda strange stat...

Twitter wisdom (if there is such a thing🤣🤣)

They used to say a pitcher stole that win.

1st team in MLB to 60 wins.

An angry Vest is a good Vest.

Vest for a 4 out save?

This entire team is in a hitting slump.

I sliced my thumb in third inning. Blood everywhere. So I guess when the Tigers win tonight, I'll have to slice my thump every game? 😆

Skubal get the handshake?

Billy Butler used to own Justin Verlander. Seager owns Skubal.

They didn't get the memo. 😅

Striking out with a runner at 3rd base and less than 2 outs is inexcusable. Start benching these overpaid primadonnas. 🤨🤨

I remember the old days when players who struck out so often batted lower in the lineup. Hinch will hit Greene 3rd no matter how bad he's slumping. Sometimes he hits the ball...

The Tigers will score multiple runs in the 1st inning. Place your bets!! 🤣🤣

Watching the Cubs and Red Sox. I want the Cubs to lose cause they have 59 wins, same as us. I wanna be the 1st team to 60 wins. I'm hoping we can score at least 1 run tonight.

No fat players on those teams. Didn't the Rangers move there from Washington in the 70's,

I can't even imagine how Pudge caught 70+ games a year in that Texas heat. Yeah, all night games when it cooled down to 100⁰. 😛😛

They're hard to watch when they don't pitch, play defense or score any runs. It's like....what's the point, just judge their uniform color choices?

I was wondering why they changed starters. The new SP, Latz, has only gone 3 innings in his most recent starts. He'll throw 7 shutout innings against us. 😔😔
