The Kyle Harrison trade has been great so far.

[tower912]

Three relievers who have seasons with 20+ saves.  Vest, Finnegan, Jansen.

The Tigers are a hot mess right now.

Vest to the IL.  (Jansen may follow)  Joining Verlander, Mize, McKinstry, Meadows, Baez.  Three all-stars, a HOF'er, starting CF.   Other than that...

Who do they think they are, the Lions?

The Kyle Harrison trade has been great so far.

Zerpa trade, on the other, though Collins is beginning to look like a 6-week wonder.

The Kyle Harrison trade has been great so far.

If I were the Red Sox, I would start trade negotiations with the Brewers, and then simply not trade the players they're interested in

Long time New York Yankee radio broadcaster, John Sterling, passed away today at the age of 87.

Vaxxed?

I didn't realize he was that old.

Skubal having elbow surgery.

Why would anyone pay a pitcher market value. Invest in sand

Woof for him and the Tigers.  Paying pitchers has always been an iffy proposition but in the modern landscape of maximizing velocity, it feels doubly iffy.

Paying should mean paying a long term deal.

GREAT day for the Dodgers, though.  Now they can offer him $500MM in the offseason (and defer $495MM of it) while nobody else will give him more than $300MM, rather than the $750MM they would've had to offer him otherwise.

Damn, that sucks.

[tower912]

Best case scenario, arthroscopic to clean out debris.   Fingers crossed.

Yup. Trade a  utility infielder for Kyle Harrison.

Better ERA for cheap.

[tower912]

Injuries no matta.  Go find someone better in the portal.

doesn't sounds like anything major - cleaning out bone chips. I had that done once.

But yeah, that's why the Tigers were smart to not break the bank for him.

[Dish]

Garrett Mitchell caught that ball, BS overturn.

[GB Warrior]

It's my analysis the Brewers are going to need some positive HR regression to be competitive this year.

Absolutely a catch.

[TallTitan34]

I think it pops out of his glove in the image below and touches grass.

I don't know if there is enough evidence, however, to reverse the call.

Yeah this angle felt pretty clear. Still nearly a sick play

[wadesworld]

The Skubal injury is why it makes it even more insane to me that they pulled him in a game 5 with a 2-1 lead going into the 7th, having retired 13 straight batters and at 99 pitches.  Pulling the best pitcher in the game, who is pitching at his best, in a win or go home game.  Just wild.  You were never going to pay him.  Ride your horse.
