Girl/woman Detroit reportedly wanted controllable pitching capable of contributing quickly. That requirement gave Los Angeles an advantage through Ryan, a 27-year-old starter who could enter the Tigers’ rotation this month. Hope supplied a high-upside position player, while Smith added another young arm. Milwaukee’s initial proposal consisted entirely of hitters. The Tigers already possess a potential franchise shortstop in Kevin McGonigle, which may have made Peña less attractive than an MLB-ready pitcher. Teams reportedly expressed interest in Brewers right-hander Logan Henderson, but it remains unclear whether Milwaukee included him in its strongest proposal. Top prospect Jesús Made was considered unavailable. Brewers principal owner Mark Attanasio confirmed that Milwaukee stretched beyond its usual comfort zone in pursuing Skubal, even if the result did not reflect that aggression. “Matt [Arnold] and his group, they did a lot to get Skubal and went way out of their typical approach,” Attanasio said on Brewers TV. “But it’s binary. You can only have one winner, and the Detroit Tigers picked the package they thought was best for them.” Milwaukee may have believed its offer carried greater prospect value. Detroit’s decision showed that the Dodgers’ package better matched what the Tigers actually wanted. Nypost.com

Seattle 4-2 over Detroit Mize gave up eight for Padres in Shields/Peralta impersonation lol

Unless you’re a professional, paid scout, these opinions are basically meaningless. Not even Keith Law is watching 7-10 consecutive games of a player. They’re snapshots. 98% chance Adam’s doesn’t have the stuff for the majors, and Boston Smith doesn’t become a frontline catcher, but they’re still assets that were essentially wasted…when they already had Hill Pereira Hays and Acuna. Getting too cute with the roster. How much would Castillo get this off-season on the open market? Probably around $6-8 million, a one year deal with an option for 2028 based on innings/performance, probably. White Sox outbid the entire market by a long shot…just like Tigers panicked not holding onto Skubal and getting more from the Brewers. Basically all paid baseball writers go with what team scouts and industry insiders say about prospects…just don’t have the time/resources/ROI for it to be worthwhile traveling to follow players, even Roch or Lackey. Jeff Teague had a long NBA career and gave up scouting for ATL after paying to upgrade lousy hotel rooms, lol. there’s just no money in it, especially with AI standardizing things and all the investment going into SEC and ACC budgets/coaching staffs.

Three run Rodriguez bomb lol. Detroit also losing. Sox can thank their lucky stars for the reprieve.

Keith Law hates the White Sox being penny wise, pound foolish.

Of course he had no pressure on him then, at least comparatively.

Adapted to be a slap/slash/chop hitter and take advantage of his speed as a lead off hitter/table setter.

Hedges for sure Bailey was so bad for SF no where to go but up

If you're going to have no offense from catchers at least have two GG's like Bailey and Hedge who can prevent runs on the other side.

knife meet butter now just two games separating six teams in the AL WC race

Boston just 1 1/2 behind Yankees if they hold on...NYY really missing those three big middle of the order bats, despite that pitching staff.

Peters is so desperate for any hit now. When it rains it pours.

Braden hitting that rookie wall as well. probably needed another couple of months in the minors big big test to see if he can adjust to how they're getting him out now

Under 750

Former White Sox Tyron Guerrero...

Unreal. Genao 4/4 in big league debut replacing Ranirez. Four consecutive hits...with two outs. CLE up over the Mets now.

Has to be given the opportunity at next level again. Still seems like a long shot.

Would have had Adams plus to trade if they didn’t waste D.Hill/Hays/Pereira.

Even Matty Thornton was 96-98. That was real GAS back in the day. Radinsky when he debuted as well. 93-95 doesn’t work without the best slider/split or change to go with it. Or at least Taylor’s curve.

Só much for the Gray/Chapman trade lol. What a difference a month makes…

Bailey/Hedges in CLE so good with abs challenges...couldn't be any more opposite.

Who had Colson getting out OPSed by Benintendi?

If he was swinging a skateboard and stoned? Thanks for nothing, Ewing. Misread a ball in CF and might have given CLE two runs or more. 3-1, first and third, no outs for CLE

We might be beyond Panican stage. (which doesn't say much for CLE/Seattle fans, but now getting pressured from below by Detroit as well)

Schriffen on wnba broadcasts is actually more fun than that…somehow. A great organization would hire Karl Ravech on the spot and pay whatever he asks for.
