papalawrence Posted September 13 Posted September 13 I think he needs to stay almost 100% healthy over the next 14 months if he expects 400 million. I certainly hope that he does, and that today is just a minor setback Quote

Really worth carrying 7 years at 40 million for a #3/4 ish starter? I dont think so. Trade him for a crapton then mvoe on. Quote

I'm not opposed to trading him for a great package Quote

1984Echoes Posted Saturday at 01:51 PM Posted Saturday at 01:51 PM Even if he never got a twinge this season and was 100% the entire year: Winning or in the top 2 or 3 Cy Young candidates two years in a row puts a huge (trade) premium on him. Some teams will be willing to pay that trade premium, others not. Referencing the injury... if not this year, then always the possibility in a future year... And there's always the danger that he declines during his next contract. A big danger there. IF... We were to receive an overpay offer with at least a couple/ a few very high-end future talents, and at least a couple guys "MLB-ready"... I couldn't say no to that. Not that I'm the Tigers GM or anything like that... Quote
papalawrence Posted Sunday at 06:57 AM Posted Sunday at 06:57 AM Glad to see no structural damage. He probably pulled something playing video games with Zumaya Quote
papalawrence Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Glass half empty: If the Tigers collapse completes and they miss the playoffs, I think Harris listens to offers for Skubal. And they lose Torres and have a regression next season. And Betty White and Tim Conway reincarnate as twins to a couple in Pittsburgh Quote
