What an inning last night, eh? Took more a couple hours to fall asleep. 😂

Yeah I think the contract with him is at a minimum 6 years and in the 230-240 million neighborhood. If Blake Snell is worth 5/182….

Yeah I will give it a shot here soon. Busy times right now between baseball and the other sports playoffs. Gets to be a lot of non stop action every night.

I started to do that just now, see if that can clean it up enough. Hope you are doing well Kurt!

Good Afternoon! Haven’t been here in awhile, just too much politics and not enough baseball but there are people I miss talking Tigers with. Looking to see who is here and if it is worth posting in both spots and taking the time to block and mute the politics like I have on X to make it tolerable. 😂

Yeah there a few people I really do miss talking with for sure. Maybe I will mute and block all the political stuff like I have on X to have my timeline relatively clean. When I was here a bit more it was just way too much politics and not enough baseball.

Thanks! Maybe I’ll try posting in both places again but this one just wasn’t gaining enough traction before and I have X where I have a lot of the annoying stuff muted or blocked and would have to do that all over again here…a lot of effort if this place is still relatively quiet. 😂

I just came to say hi and say you are one of the few I miss during the baseball season in X. Hope all is well.

It’s tricky for sure. Honestly I am fine however they play it out with Tarik but what I would be doing without question is putting forth a strong effort to win now with him. Don’t be irresponsible, but fill the needs with a higher caliber than what has been done recently.

For sure. It’s tricky and I am not sure everybody appreciates the difficulty in valuing and completing these huge deals.

Thinking out loud, and yes position players and pitcher markets are not direct comparisons, but it’s hard to imagine the price of a longshot Skubal extension now and what he would get on the open market in 2 years have risen a bit further than anticipated. What would you offer him now?

Everything I have to say with the Wings right now may start in different spots and wind down different roads, but they all end of at the same destination: Fire Lalonde. 😂

Good Morning! The MLB Winter Meetings are underway! With a couple of Big Boys off the table, including the Biggest with Juan Soto’s historic Mets signing, there could be a higher level of activity than usual. Beam us up Scotty, it’s time to show you are up for the task.

Good Morning! Couple of tough games on tap with the injury riddled Lions looking to officially clinch a playoff spot and keep a grip on the 1 seed in the NFC vs Green Bay and the Red Wings heading to Ottawa to face the Senators who have basically owned them the past 3 seasons.

Sure seems to be heading in that direction.

Certainly need some kind of real spark, we see some brief flickers but they are extinguished too quickly.

Agreed Vierling is better suited in a super utility role, but for right now if I have to live with him at 3B and get a bigger and better power bat elsewhere, I am going that route. Don’t feel the Tigers can afford to miss taking chances right now with one big miss already on the 26 man….

Hate how I just can’t get up to watch the Red Wings. Maybe the most uninspired I’ve been to watch in my life. I watch out of habit, but with a Boston loss likely, then Ottawa up Thursday who basically own them, it feels like another 4 game losing streak minimum. Hope I’m wrong.

Reposting here from X:

Tigers talk heating up a bit so let’s have some fun. Just some surface stats but:
Player A:
.272/.325/.394 16HR 2.5 bWAR
Player B:
.257/.312/.423 16 HR 3. bWAR

Player A costs you prospects, money, and hoping for improvement at age 34

Player B…you already have and he’s 28.

Relaxing with Nyssa and the kids gone today. Weirdly quiet. 😂

Good Morning! A loaded sports weekend with a little something for everyone is on deck! Today we have the Red Wings at 3 PM, Pistons at 8, a bunch of college football games, and a midday NFL game between the Raiders and the Referees. Get your shopping done early and enjoy the day!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Enjoy your day and hopefully it kickoffs with the Lions taking care of business again!

Particularly when you are spending all that money to lure more corporate and rich people spending. Why he wouldn’t want a ballpark drawing 2.5 Million plus next year and returning to the 3 Million neighborhood being the ultimate goal is beyond me.

If only Chris Ilitch would subscribe as he should…he traveled last year to other parks, saw the crowds.

I hear ya. I figure if they wanted to be serious about an extension you are looking at 7 or 8 years now with the 2 arb years before hitting free agency. It’s a huge commitment.

Good Morning Everyone! So the night I fall asleep early Blake Snell signs with the Dodgers 5/182. If he is getting that at age 31 then you know Skubal is likely getting a little more in 2 years at 30 assuming performance. So the parameters on a Tarik deal are now set, what’s your next move?

It’s a start…

Yusei Kikuchi to the Angels. Being reported as 3 years/$63 million. Figured him for a 3 year deal but the dollars are a bit more than I thought. Good move for him as the Angels try to improve to ultimately watch Mike Trout get hurt again and then team flounders in no man’s land, but they do try. 😂
