If they struggle the first half of 2026 they can still trade him before the deadline, and they'd get a nice haul then. If they are in contention they'll keep him and get the comp pick. I think highest odds are on those 2 scenarios. Harris get solid offers this winter, but none will outweigh the fact that Detroit has a chance to win next season.

Those years my son was a toddler and I was working 3 jobs. All a blur

So SP 2026 is looking like Skubal, Flaherty, Mize, Olsen, Melton and likely a couple FA.

I agree. The huge payroll can help a team to the playoffs over 162, but many factors play a role in a series, including dumb luck.

I was hoping Harris would kick the tires on Bieber, oh well. And I do believe the CBA is going to impact free agency. I expect a work stoppage in 2027

Today my gut tells me Harris will make the biggest splash in the bullpen. There are some big names out there. I also think he'll sign at least 2 SP but no big splash. Something along the lines of Lorenzen, Gallen level. Maybe make a run at Bieber. But not a Cease level guy. I don't see any huge splash on position guys, not with several on the verge. Smaller splashes. Tonight I likely will have mexican for dinner, so there is a likelihood that my gut will speak differently tomorrow

If the Tigers win the WS, I like their chances of extending him. If not, then not. So odds are, what, 15%

I believe Randy Johnson won 4 consecutive CY. Wonder how much prime Big Unit would fetch in today's market?

I expect that announcement to raise the 400 conversation to 425.

Being so close and lose sucks. Anything less next year will be such a let down for their fans. Just ask Philly fans.

For me as a fan, it's actually easier to cope following a sweep like in 2012, than to be down to the final 2 outs of game 7 and lose in extras. 2013 still lingers for me. 2012 does not. Blue Jays fans will sting from this until they win it all, which may never happen.

If I were a free agent, my team of choice would clearly be the Dodgers. You'll have a chance to win it all every year. Access to an abundance of resources

After they sign Skubal they'll have Yamamoto, Ohtani, Snell, Skubal and Sasaki locked up for years.

So even with a ton of injuries, a down year by Betts, they still win it all. Imagine what they'll do if they stay healthy. Jeter called them a juggernaut. Have won 3 out of 5 WS the past 9 years, and they're just getting started.

Unbelievable. The baseball gods just love the Dodgers

Nice DP. 6 more outs

Halfway there. Props to mad Max

Final hex placed upon the Dodgers

I was not aware that Jared Goff's father Jerry played in MLB for parts of 6 seasons.

They listed all of those teams and Baltimore

Watching Tigers Territory today. They said early Vegas pennant odds have Detroit 8th in the AL. Maybe they expect Skubal gone, or more likely, they see the holes on the team. Probably factoring in both. They stressed that it shows Det needs to take steps this off-season to improve. Also has me pondering throwing small wager on Detroit now.

The deals posted in media are ludicrous. Since Skubal is a rental, people think Detroit will trade him relatively cheap, which will never happen
