I saw the news last night that Arenado has exercised his not trade clause for a potential deal to Houston. Seems to me like the fact that Houston is out there looking for deals and getting to the point where a player is consulted about their NTC has be to a good sign for us landing Bregman.

Currently we have a half season for the Tigers Jim Bean Champions Club for 4 tickets to 40 games. Champions Club has indoor/outdoor seating and all inclusive food and drink. It’s a great experience !

We are looking to downsize and want to find a partner who would be interested in splitting our package (4 tickets to 20 games). Cost would be around $15,000.

Serious inquires only.

Looking for a good active tigers and or mlb discord since the r/MLB one is pretty dead

Having a down year at the same time you are finally hitting the open market, can be a real bummer for the 29-31 year old players, who have struggled through rookie contracts and the team-friendly arbitration years.

These players are often looking for generational wealth that players in the pre-90s baseball era could only dream of ever meeting someone with, let alone obtaining. So what happens when you don't get a big contract, do you take a lower deal for the same length? Maybe.

Or a team looking for a short term patch in a position offers you a higher AAV 1 + 1 deal, either a player option, mutual option, or a vesting option to get you back into free agency quickly, or pay you a decent chunk of change for two bad years, if something happens. If the team underperforms, they can trade the player at the deadline for pieces

Scott Harris did this with Carlos Rodon in SFG, we did this with Eduardo Rodriguez (2 + 2), the Twins did this with Carlos Correa initially, and Blake Snell just did it with SFG last season.

Bregman and Buehler are negotiating for those longers deals, with the Tigers being in a spot to scoop if the longer contracts don't reach their intended thresholds and that's a good spot to be in. The Tigers don't want Bregman on a longer deal and Buehler could definitely be the next Flaherty/Lorenzen project to bolster, help build a run, and go make money elsewhere afterwards.

Sorting through what roster pieces matter long term, staving off injuries derailing a season, and still running the table in the divisional race are all benefits of a 1 + 1 strategy for the Tigers with Bregman and Buehler. Harris has shown his willingness to do it before, hopefully having learned from Farhan Zaidi's ups and downs as PoBO in SF, that you do have to go above the numbers calculated to get the job done.

As the Dodgers PoBO Andrew Friedman once stated, "If you're always rational about every free agent, you will finish third on every free agent"

Haven’t heard anything about this since the news dropped of his allegations. Wondering if anyone has heard anything.

Listed under the available players merchandise with current or former Tigers.

DeSclafani missed the entire '24 season with a right flexor tendon injury and is currently listed as a free agent, but has no ties to the Tigers organization outside of this signed baseball. Mistake or does Fanatics know something we don't?

This feels like a similar move to the Cobb signing if the Tigers are in fact bringing Disco in.

Apparently the Dodgers are good this year?

Might be a good signing as a potential bounceback candidate if they can get him cheap, he can platoon DH with Carpenter if he hits, he's still young and has been good as recently as a couple years ago. Just a thought

Hi all, I want to talk about a player i really like and think would be perfect for this team but is unrealistic. MacKenzie Gore is a pitcher for the Nats, acquired in the Soto trade. He's also a former 3rd overall pick in 2017 behind Royce Lewis and Hunter Greene.

Moving on to what he actually does: He strikes people out, he's got a good fastball, great stuff, he's improved year over year, BUT he's also a very wild pitcher leading the MLB this year in wild pitches, and had 11 HBP. His ERA and WHIP are not good but his FIP is encouraging. Basically it seems like he is good until things start going wrong where he starts going off the rails. I think this is a guy who can get better under Fetter and this defense that is basically the inverse quality of the Nats.

Now I dont know how much he'd cost. If they sign Bregman i'd try to do Jung, Lange, and a prospect in that 15-25 range which is mostly Harris guys in the 19-22yo range playing in Rookie or A ball. IDK if they would do that since there is no reason to trade Gore but like the title says, this is just a wish.

TLDR: Hard throwing lefty with great stuff, but very wild when things go wrong. Could be better with good coaching and defense.

I won tickets to any Detroit Tigers home game (besides opening day). What game would you choose and why?

Next Tigers Game: Sat, Feb 22, 01:05 PM EST vs. Phillies (68 days)

Why no rumors for the return of Mad Max? Bring him home.
