Had a feeling that would happen once they sent Hurter and Horn down.

I wonder if this is the end of the road for Kahnle...

What other move is there?  Hanifee?  Give up on Montero already?

I can’t imagine they’d send Melton down at this point.

Agree that McKinstry, Baez, and probably even Perez really belong on the bench. Should be some solid options if Torres doesn’t re-sign, with Kim, Suarez, Bichette, Bregman, etc free agesnts. I just don’t see a path for Anderson, Jung, and probably Lee next year. Carp needing a RH platoon partner also makes bench construction difficult. Wouldn’t shock me if Carp was a trade candidate.

I’ve come around on Perez.  He came into the year with more good weight and he’s shown improvement all the way around. Can never be certain of future trajectory, but the trend has been good

Toledo has a slim chance of sneaking into AAA playoffs. Erie, WMI, and Lakeland are already in for their leagues. Florida Complex League rookie team made playoffs but failed to defend their 2024 title. Both DSL teams have losing records.

Crazy movement on some of those pitches

Trei Cruz is raking this season.  Might have figured something out.

I noticed that too but I excitement was tempered when I realized that he is already 27. For some reason I always thought that he was drafted out of High School in 2020 like Keith.

I don’t think his age is much of an issue here.  This is first time in AAA, so it’s not like he’s mastered it over a few seasons. Plus, COVID slowed down development for for his class.  The bigger question mark is small sample size, but at least he’s giving the Tigers something to think about regarding the 40-man this offseason (assuming he would need to be protected).

Could turn into a Dane Myers with the right org.

what's the word on Clark? He hasn't played two games since leaving the game on the 19th in his 1st AB but I don't see any DL notice on his transaction page - not that that isn't often not up to date...

All it says on the injury and transaction page is that he underwent tests on his right wrist.  It hasn't been updated since the 19th (he was undergoing the tests on the 20th)

Clark is back in the lineup tonight!
