Because undeveloped (which it is now) vs developed is very different valuations.

It's 100% on what Ishbia wants to pay for.

This. We COULD have had him six plus years as a starter.

This. See also: Taylor, Grant

You got a kid that's not very good we can take in the 2nd round?

The same problem with Taylor, exists with both Schultz and Smith and that is conditioning. If they can't even go 100 innings, wasting a season pitching them out of the pen is just another step closer to them never starting. I know people are on the Sale/Crochet bandwagon, but for the vast majority of cases, once you go to the pen you don't come out, especially if you don't have a real innings base under you before you do it.

It's a fight over property taxes more than anything.

No second round pick? Slackers.

All that and the Tigers still lost. Brilliant.

Yeah, which is why Indiana's population is falling, and Chicago's is rising...

Gotta let that contract run out. Do you know what GMs make these days?

The Wirtz are at least in a cash based business, but I sure with Jerry it was financed and OPM.

There is zero chance it doesn't pass.

Collect 10 of them and you get a free campfire milkshake

Damned close.

It's one year and he is gone. Do the smart thing and rake another org and set yourself to win for the next five years. Hell, they probably still win the division, and there are plenty of other arms they can still sign.

Eh, I don't support letting the fans run the organization. As Stacey King tells us, if you're scared, get a dog.

Honestly the baller thing to do would be to trade Skubal now and cut your losses, but grab someone's top 5 to do it. Absolutely reload. Take a hit today to own the AL Central in the future.

They just burned that bridge and pissed on the ashes with their action through the arb cycle.

If he pitches like himself this year, the Tigers will get 3 to 4 guys, including a Frontline one if they choose to move him. Pitching is always insane at the deadline.

Unlike the Sox, the Tigers will absolutely load up on this trade, when it eventually happens

He was never coming back after the number the Tigers submitted to start this

Flexibility is an NBA term for "aint' got s%*#"
