Clark might be the biggest add the Tigers make this year.

Along with Torres and Baez.  Getting them back is the equivalent of buying at the deadline as they’ve been absent through most of the season. Jobe, too, for the pen.

Barring a collapse over the next 10 games, I think we’ll likely stand pat at the deadline.

Why would they want Robert? I mean, they could bring up Clark and he'd hit better than  .211 and play better defense.

Plus, Robert hasn’t shown he can stay on the field.

Well, he would fit in well with the rest of the team.

I don't agree.  Harris will pick up a AAA pitcher off waivers and then remove him from the 40-man two days later while trying to keep him in the organization.

So, Luis Robert is expensive, no longer good, and cannot stay healthy.  But other than that, yeah, go get him?

You joke, but in practical terms, that is standing pat.

No pat.   It's almost a certainty that someone with a large(r) salary is leaving.  After all, Harris reads this board and knows the necessity of cutting some payroll.
