Some MSU co-ed is going to pay dearly.

Quote from: JWags85 on Today at 12:00:09 PMBulls sign Mac McClung to a two-way, so they now have a dozen guards and 14 second round picks.  Full rebuild into a strong 7th seed team of the future.

The currently have 17 players on the roster, NOT including McClung. 

Detroit went all in by signing Valdez.  I cannot imagine a trade package for Skubal that gets Detroit closer to a World Series than keeping Skubal.

Quote from: CreightonWarrior on Today at 10:24:18 AMThat's good to hear. I read them so obviously knew the twist so was curious how obvious or not it was. Glad it was a fun surprise for non-book readers.

I suppose some people may see it coming, but I did not. After it was revealed, I immediately recalled several hints that maybe I should have picked up on.

Quote from: 18thandWells on Today at 01:54:22 PMDetroit should trade Skubal to a rich coastal franchise willing to pay for his single year of service.

After all, who needs a a better shot at the World Series when there's a chance to improve your ranking in Keith Law's Top Farm Systems?

Why make a trade for Skubal when you can just win the World Series this year and then give him $100MM more than anyone else can offer him and defer all of that out into the future, and give up nothing for him?

Chicago Bananas? Sounds about right.

I'm surprised to see some clamoring for what seems like fringe players (e.g. a d-first big man and someone to spell NJ). From my POV, we need way more than that.

We really have something with NJ, Stevens and Parham. But that group of young guys are probably not ready to have us competing for the Big East next year.

Do I think we'll be in for multiple top 10 transfers available? Of course not. But we can and should be in the market for at least two big east starter level players that can do more than just grab boards or backup our PG. I wish that weren't the case but that's where whiffing on the junior class has left us.

Good for Tarik.
