Dan Dickerson's thoughts on this matter Dan Dickerson shares what Detroit Tigers should do with Tarik Skubal https://share.google/XoA7vGrsfz6qB1ftn

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

I agree! Heyman is stirring up fodder for social media and it worked. My feeds are exploding with silly trade scenarios from other teams, and it has given me a headache.

Offer Sasaki plus another and Harris will listen

I confess that I feel quite happy right now. One more and I might shart myself

I agree

I hate the Dodgers, Yankees and Red Sox, with fervor. I will never root for any of them

Baseball is mostly humbling, even for the superstars

Earl Wilson hit 35 home runs in 740 career at-bats, including 7 hr in 88 ab's in 1968

I don't see Harris trading Skubal unless he is offered a crazy deal. If Detroit keeps him through 2026, I have a hunch he'll sit a while as a free agent, as it's likely there will be a work stoppage in 2027.

I'd prefer if the game goes past 12 innings, then you have a runner start at 2nd base starting inning 13, or something like that. I agree about potential injury. With the game today, that's basically 3 full games in 26-7 hours. Yamamoto was warming up and would have pitched had it gone to 19. And no need for scarlet A on your jersey. Consider an Earl Wilson patch instead. He doesn't get enough love

I hate the Dodgers

Ohtani has been on base 9 times. No player has ever reached base 10 times in a game.
