Ohtani is pitching tonight, might have to stay up a bit late. 

He prolly won't go more than 30 pitches or so. 2 innings max. He should be off the mound by 10:45 EST.

It’s Ohtani.  He could throw 8 shutout innings tonight and I wouldn’t be surprised.

The Dodgers are so hard up for pitching, they didn't even send him out for a rehab start. Pretty arrogant (and ignorant.)

But yeah, anything that guy does no longer surprises me. He's a.....freak. 😆

They don't want to lose his bat, they can't send him down.

As a Tiger fan, I would want no part of Devers. The Tigers have a flexible roster of guys willing to play wherever asked...Keith plays 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Riley play any OF position. Even Javy will play anywhere he's asked to play. Devers? He's a prima donna who will only play where he wants to play. No thank you.

Devers is an extreme case, but I am under the impression there are quite a lot of veterans who would not be a fit on this version of the Tigers for similar reasons.

They still needed his bat in the lineup.

Not only not a fit but too expensive. Harris hasn't signed many players to long term deals. Keith and...who else?

Devers appears to be a special case.  Generally, I think it's more about money than fit.
