  1. Per mlb.tv Cleveland said they are not offering up Kwan, and would have to be blown away with an offer. I would think that probably starts with Clark. I love Kwan, but I don't see Harris offering a "blow em away" trade.
  2. Cleveland already said they would only trade Kwan if they are blown away with an offer. Why would they trade him? They're not in a rebuild
  3. Paddack throws strikes. Right in Harris' wheelhouse
  4. Maybe Paddack can be their Milt Wilcox
  5. That interview with Mark Fidrych's wife and her grandson made my day
  6. Change of scenery definitely helping Andrew Vaughn so far. In 15 games with the Brewers he is hitting .375 with 5 HR and 21 RBI. Shelton-esque, or possibly legit? I remember AA was interested in him. Iirc he was drafted earlier than Riley Greene.
  7. Gleyber has been consistent with his approach all season. Even with the glut of middle infielders in the minors, I'd like to see him remain a Tiger. He's so young. He could remain an above average player for the next 5-6 years. I'd almost rather see Harris spend money that way, rather than 400+ on Skubal
  8. Maybe AJ is slowly going to stretch out Hurter to give him a shot as a starter
  9. I've read a half dozen places today that Detroit is still in on Suarez. BTW, x-rays from today are negative. He is in a 1-21 swoon. Historically he's been prone to long slumps. In fact, 2025 is the first time his ops has been. 800+ in 5 years. I'd think Max Anderson would likely be the headliner that Harris is offering. We'll find out soon.
  10. Yep, lead back to 9
  11. I'll guess George Mullin, Wild Bill Donovan were involved in 1910. Virgil Trucks, Hal Newhouser and Steve Gromek 1949
  12. Is Reese's injury related to rotator cuff?
  13. Just saw that. Very sad. Should have been in the WS vs the Tigers. RIP
  14. That pitch was almost middle middle
  15. I was living in Seattle when the kingdom came down. My ex wife and I lived on Beacon Hill behind downtown and we could see the demolition from our back porch. The kingdome was just as bad as the metrodome. Only been to their new stadium once. I enjoyed it!
  16. Believe in Riley's stash!!
  17. Feel bad for Reese. Wow. "Shoulder strain." Might = TJ and basically out 2 years
  18. Not me! I was equipped with my Major Matt Mason action figure and moon buggy to follow the Apollo action!
  19. Shawn Green had a 6-6, 4 HR, 7 RBI and 19 total bases game, and who remembers Fred Lynn's 3 HR, 5-hit, 10 RBI game vs the Tigers. There have been several crazy games. I remember reading on the back of a baseball card that Cesar Gutierrez went 7-7 for the Tigers in an extra inning game
  20. You would be surprised - her eephus is legendary
  21. And yet they still have a 7 game lead. Crazy!
  22. There are a half dozen stats from that game where no other player in history can check them all off for their career. He checked them all in one game! My vote for best game by rookie ever. Maybe best game for a player ever. As for best rookie seasons there are a few that stand out - like Williams, Pujols, DiMaggio, McGwire, Judge, Alonso, FRobby, Walt Dropo, Fred Lynn (and others).....and can't forget Fidrych and Fernando. Kurtz is on pace for a similar year. Could get to 40 HR (and had 16 this year in the minors). He has the look of a stud.
  23. At this time the Tigers have the 8th best record in mlb and even winning the division would play in the wild card round. Steep fall
  24. AZ is next, then Philly. This is it. Turn it around, or historic collapse
  25. Other than a 13 at-bat stop at AA last season, Kurtz' ops has never been below 1.000. That includes this season. Dude is a stud Nick Kurtz College, Fall & Minor Leagues Statistics | Baseball-Reference.com https://share.google/BODDMh8TLFDNonwYF
