It is a tough decision.

If you have had a predisposition toward chronically losing playing days in the regular season, it might be best to give it a miss.

Id me more concerned about Correa’s health than most.

I think people throw too much shade at Walker. He led the team in HR’s and RBI last year. A bit better at the plate and in his def and people would appreciate him more.

I think he has substantial upside potential.

The ultimate fan guide to the World Baseball Classic Here is everything you need to know heading into the sixth edition of baseball's biggest international tournament.

Good read on the World Baseball Classic by Kevin Barral.

Framber is fortunate he didn’t get his bell rung when they got back to the locker room.

I won’t miss the drama but I do wish I had stock in whatever antiperspirant he uses.

I couldn’t find any mention of a no trade clause in his contract.

AJ with all the tools makes the Tigers formidable.

@kevinbarral.bsky.social Good article on the WBC posted on Fish on First.

One further question if you don’t mind?

Do you have any idea if MLB “At Bat” will cover the audio for any of the games?

Thanks for the great article and apologies for intruding on your day.

It isn’t that I am sad that Detroit has Framber and we don’t; I think what I’m feeling is wanting Detroit’s owner and not necessarily their pitcher.

Of course if they’d like to send Skubal south …….

Pirates Join Bidding For Framber Valdez Spurned by several prominent bats, the Pirates are now pursuing free agent starter Framber Valdez. Get details over at MLB Trade Rumors.

Athletic (paid)

Ditto

If I had to pick between the two, based on last year, I’d have to keep Paredes.

I still believe that Walker could rebound. He has to be better than 1 WAR let alone the .1 he managed last year.

Something tells me that Walker won’t adapt to missing regular at-bats.

Can’t start soon enough.
