Vest pitching the ninth?

Looking at the radar, it'll probably be 45 minutes before this passes. Probably looking at 11pm before things finish up.

Tigers really don't need to be losing this game.

In my hypothetical, it would be one of the big market teams that just wants to get him on board a year earlier. I could still see a team going for a full season rental if they felt they were in a good position to make a run. Who knows, I'd just feel better about it if the Tigers could get something for him before losing him to free agency.

I have no idea what Ibanez was thinking there. You can't run that far on a steal attempt and then put on the brakes.

The Cure commercials are literally the worst. They annoy me more than all the commercials talking about toe fungus and constipation relief combined.

I don't think we can say what a team would or wouldn't be willing to trade, especially if their intention was to sign Skubal long term and were looking to get a hold of him a year earlier. I think there's certainly a deal out there that both teams would find appealing.

I would think that depends on the return. If the Tigers could trade Skubal before next season for a #2 starter and an every day bat, both under contract for the next few seasons, wouldn't that actually make the team better?

They'd only be trading for a year of Skubal so I don't see why any team would be out of the running.

That's the point, dude doesn't even know where he's going. Either that or he's planning on returning Alaska to Vlad.

Of course they had the room stacked with right wing media during Trump's rambling new conference so nobody could actually ask real questions.

So Trump just said he's going to Russia on Friday to see Putin. 😬

I have two IRA's with Vanguard and I just don't see them doing anything stupid that would put my money at risk.

Has a team in contention for the post season ever traded a superstar they knew wouldn't be returning to the team the following season? Imagine if we get to the trade deadline next year and the Tigers are leading the division. Is there any chance the Tigers would trade Skubal to a NL team if the return was good enough? Sounds wild, but imagine a team being willing to give you a couple top prospects.

I was thinking more like the Bregman situation. Once the details of the Tigers offer were made public, I don't know anyone who was still howling about not signing him.

Why is there almost no news about the head of the IRS getting canned? There has to be something there and I'm guessing it has to do with Trump wanting access to something and being told no.

I think the Tigers have to make the offer or the fan base is going to go nuts. If the Tigers offer him 8/300 and he turns it down, I think most fans are going to accept that they did all they could to try and keep him.

Did Javy tweak something? Looked like a grimace as he was running home.

The most I could ever see the Tigers offering Skubal would be 8 years/300 million and that even seems like a stretch. If he stays healthy and continues putting up the stats, I see one of the big market teams giving him 10 years/400 million so I don't think there's a chance in hell the Tigers retain his services beyond next season.

Biggest win of the season so far.

Watching the replay, his head really snapped back. Hopefully he just got knocked cold and they're taking extra precautions due to it being a head/neck impact.

LOL we're cooked.

Bloop!
