Soriano had a historic April but has been very mediocre since. I think the walk rate really limits his ceiling. Detmers is viewed more favorably because of the better strikeout and walk numbers, even if Soriano is better at actual run prevention so far.

The extra year of control for Quintana is worth a lot of value. I think Quintana wasn't even in arbitration yet when he got traded, so he was making peanuts. While Determs will be cost controlled, he's heading into his Arb2 and Arb3 years, meaning he's gonna make something close to $20 million for the next few seasons. It's not expensive, but it's also not $5 million. Also, I think Quintana was actually a more proven pitcher than Detmers at the time they traded him. He was a 4-5 WAR pitcher for the 3 years prior to the trade. Detmers doesn't have that kind of track record.

The problem with the Tigers is that they need a lot of bullpen help if they want to keep Skubal. I think today's game basically proved that. Their choices are buy relievers or sell Skubal. Sitting pat is not really an option.

Tigers just lost a game they were up 7-0 in. That's the kind of game that makes you trade Skubal (he started this game too, BTW).

Lost on a bullshit double

Wow Meidroth

Do the hitters know we have challenges left? You can't save them for tomorrow

Colson hit one just like that yesterday except it didn't go over the first baseman's head and Jazz completely screwed it up.

Schweitzer has really saved the bullpen today.

Not sure how Jazz got to that

That guy has a 0.66 ERA

The Royals might be the best team in the AL Central right now. That's how bad everyone else is playing.

Bunting in front of Romo...what are we doing

I don't know how we keep letting Rosario beat us

Braden almost dropped that

It wouldn't be a Kay start without a HBP

I'm not sure Romo would be a good hitter with an aluminum bat.

Have the hitting coaches told him to swing earlier?

Drew Romo finally got lucky

So far only a slump, but I can definitely see this being the start of him hitting a wall.

Lol they were just talking about Kay having good command and he immediately walks someone in 4 pitches.

No Cole basically threw them right down the pipe and Peters couldn't do much with them.

Ugh you can't let him get out of that without a run

Cole dialing it up to 99. I think this might be his last inning.

Need to get something this inning. Cole hasn't had much command this inning. Can't let him off the hook.
