Cody Stavenhagen said on the radio that Law was about to sign with an independent team before the Tigers came calling. That’s the sandbox the Tigers are playing in.

Or maybe the strategy is not so fine. It’s at least up for debate.

This organization traded away stars in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019, at the expense of helping ourselves right away, for talent that was supposed to upgrade the system and help us in the future. It is 2022. We are in that future right now. How’s that worked out?

Bunker’s “defense” is always the one out of the red hat playbook: attack Democrats for things they’re not even doing. Or better yet, attack Democrats for what Republicans are doing.

Zach McKinstry? That’s the benchmark Al has to beat? Jesus, talk about low bar.

This is what sad loser syndrome looks like.

Blue Jay Killer Syndrome?

They’ve been stocking up on bullpen arms and he was freely available is all I was saying. As long as we were going for devils we know …

Here will go! Will this thread do for monkeypox?

Maybe. Although Norris hasn’t been a starter since 2019 and we’re about to dump a bunch of relievers.

“Manning’s got a great body. He's got a plus arm. There's just a lot of things to like about him. And we'll just see how he develops."

Wait a minute—how did a freely available Shane Greene get by us after we were all over Daniel Norris??

I don’t want Andujar nearly as much as the Yankees want something anything for Andujar.

Reads like you're justifying how this trade would be a net gain for the ... I'm sorry, what did you call them? The "Yank-me's", was it? 😉 ... versus what the Tigers would gain from it. That said, Fulmer is a free agent and gone next year, and Derek Hill looks completely toasted, so sure, make this deal, why not. Although the Yankees might try to switch out receiving Fulmer for either Chafin or Jimenez, and if they insisted on that, do you still like the deal?

Michael Fulmer is more than enough to get Miguel Andujar, who's in Scranton, FFS. If they can't trade him, good chance they're gonna DFA him.

Trump's wall is a waste of money, and it won't work. I won't bother explaining it any further, since you don't do nuance, anyway.

That's partly why I never put any stock into polling done months before elections occur. So much, too much, can happen in the intervening months. It's why whenever I see my preferred candidate leading any months-out poll, I'm inclined to post, "quick, call the election for today!"

And that's the unfortunate thing about being a professional athlete: it may not be his fault that he got hurt, and it may not be fair that he can't tap into the apex of his talent as a result, but he's going to bear the burden of it anyway.

I'm not sold on Manning just yet. So far he is a low-strikeout, average-walk, high-base hit guy with underwhelming stuff. Maybe that was because he has been hurt the whole time last year and this, and maybe if he gets pain-free it'll change and he'll be an ace. But I'll need to see it first.

Your oxymoron of the day.

Clearly he believes he can do better than 20th round in a few years.
