I'd bet river ryan joins the rotation there in Detroit almost right away.

Skubal

Yamamoto

Ohtani???

Snell

Glasnow

Sheehan

Wrobleski All Star

Sasaki back to pen for postseason...averaging 99.5 fb in recent starts

Detroit is also likely to trade Mize as well...opening two rotation spots

"The Tigers got a solid return, but they failed to land Josue De Paula, Mike Sirota or Eduardo Quintero, who are L.A.’s top outfield prospects. It’s also worth noting that they didn’t need to be here. Detroit severely lowballed him during discussions about a long-term extension. And this offseason, it only offered him $19 million in arbitration, which was, frankly, insulting. In the end, Skubal won his arbitration case for a record $32 million. There was no coming back. They should have traded him at that point instead of waiting for the deadline and taking a smaller return.

The franchise put itself in this position by not locking up its star player and accepted a package that is below his market value."

They do think that he can stick in CFA (for now)...but there's a considerable difference of opinion about how true that will be down the line as he fills out.

At the very least, adding Max Clark and Greene into the mix make for a very nice outfield trio.

Now the big question shifts to whether the Tigers will eventually have enough pitching if you also trade Mize?
