Pwtzold is reliably the Tigers pessimist.

I've always thought Greene's timeline doesn't match up well with the comng core of the team. Coupled with him having real trade value it seems to make him a prime candidate for some sort of a hole filling trade.

Korea?

That method keeps him eligible to compile some wins and healthy for the stretch run.

DeJesus/Verlander = 5th starter spot. = Opener/Bulk

Nice story in the Freep: https://www.freep.com/story/sports/columnists/jeff-seidel/2026/03/12/kevin-mcgonigle-not-the-only-detroit-tigers-prospect-wowing-in-spring/

He was clearly not quite ready. That said I'd not be shocked to see Clark patrolling CF in Comerica on a regular basis this September.

It'll be a legendary own goal.

....And I don't recall who or where....perhaps Lynn Henning? They made the statement that Peck was by a margin the smoothest fielding IF in the Tigers system.

FROM: Tigers ML Report@tigersMLreport 3h Here’s what we wrote about John Peck before the 2025 season…

Supposedly the best IF glove in the organization, the question was always whether he could hit. He now been hitting too.

If he's willing this makes some sense. Preserve both their arms and get JV off the "must pitch 5" rule for wins.

I wouldn't say he's made it for sure but I do think at this point he would need to play his way off it.

Evan Petzold@EvanPetzold 12m #Tigers lineup today vs. Tampa Bay Rays in Grapefruit League: Wenceel Pérez (CF) Javier Báez (SS) Dillon Dingler (C) Riley Greene (LF) Spencer Torkelson (1B) Kerry Carpenter (DH) Austin Slater (RF) Kevin McGonigle (3B) John Peck (2B) Framber Valdez (LHP) McGonigle is going to Opening Day.

Ugh.....a Dirks game. Maybe he's chilled a bit. We'll see.

I expect he'll do quite well at Toledo.

True. And we invented baseball, some other country beating us at our own game would be like someone beating Canada at hockey......

Not yet they haven't. I just called them and they're promising a resolution that includes the Tigers, Wings and Pistons BEFORE the regular season begins. They credited some $$ for NBC previously. I told them that without the sports at a reasonable rate I was gone.

Similar for me, I only subscribe to FUBO because it includes FanDuel. If they don't replace FanDuel with this new Tigers/Wings thing I'll kill FUBO and go somewhere that does package it.

I tend to mute the game when Dirks is on with Benetti.

I wouldn't be shocked to see them deal some depth for MiLB pitching. We've got a surplus in the IF and at Catcher so a trade is plausible.
