Trade Skubal

[Evan Petzold @EvanPetzold]

How will #Tigers make room for three starters returning from injured list?

It starts with Ty Madden.

"Over time, we're going to need to figure out what's best to put this pitching staff back together," A.J. Hinch said. https://t.co/jQWwXeU889

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

The Tigers are tanking to justify trading Skubal (and maybe Greene)

[Evan Petzold @EvanPetzold]

The #Tigers activated Gleyber Torres from the injured list for Tuesday's game against the Rays, forcing a corresponding roster move.

Hao-Yu Lee was sent to Triple-A Toledo.
Zack Short stayed.

Right decision?

@ETrudopo Again, because you were initially wrong, you'd like to change the subject. I get it. It was embarrassing.

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

Worth repeating:

1. Canada makes EXACTLY ZERO electric passenger vehicles. Read that again: ZEE - RO

2. And 49,000 EVs from China represent 2.57% of the 1.9M vehicles automakers are projected to sell in Canada in 2026.

3. That means only 5.2% of sales will be electric.

[Blacklock's Reporter @mindingottawa]

Figures confirm feds granted China EV makers access to about half the battery electric auto market here, contradicting @ISED_Ca claims it was "a small quota."

@ETrudopo You realize he said they HAVE MOVED. And they HAVE NOT. lol

You also realize it costs about $4B-$7B to build a factory?

Good chatting, though.

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

@ETrudopo @radiomike519 Show me ONE car factory that moved to the U.S. from Canada since Trump took office. I'll wait.

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

As an automotive journalist who covers the Canadian auto industry, I can tell you with certainty: No automaker has moved a plant to the U.S. from Canada. There are no plans to move any that exist. Were PLANS for product cancelled? Yes. But no plants moved.

🤡 Trump: “In the end, you’ll say he was the greatest president in history”

The US president claimed that Iran has been defeated, that $18 trillion in investments are supposedly flowing into the American economy, and that car factories are massively relocating from Mexico, Canada, Germany, Japan, and South Korea.

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

@ETrudopo I mean, I'd expect someone who claims to have a PhD to understand that.

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

Sorry, meant 2026.

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

@ETrudopo @radiomike519 Keep telling myself what? Facts?

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

Guess I am not seeing the fifth instalment of one of my favourite franchises.

We're in a recession. He must not have been bold enough the first year+ in office?

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Fortune favours the bold.

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

@roll_otb @GasPriceWizard The right loves a boogeyman? Have you seen how Liberals portray Trump and Poilievre? Carney literally campaigned on fear and led us to recession.

Tarps off in Tigertown tonight

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

The Gordie Howe bridge is opening into very different political and economic climates than the one in which it was conceived. It's supposed to symbolize deeper Canada-U.S. integration. It arrives amid tariffs, a USMCA review and growing trade anxiety.

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

Have my fellow @Tigers fans come to terms with never seeing Skubal pitch as a Tiger again? Like, he's gonna be dealt before he's back, right?

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

Why do the @NHL referees even stay on the ice during playoff overtime periods? This is a joke.

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

The @StephenAtHome has to turn this into a travelling road show, where he visits community access channels across America and streams it on YouTube. By the way, so glad I watched to the very end.

[Matthew Keys @MatthewKeysLive]

Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.

Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.

@BaseballBros 14. Same age you must stop putting ketchup on a hot dog.

[Greg Layson @GLaysonANC]

@BaseballBros I remember when I was about U10 or U12, my dad would drag the diamond with his riding mower. He'd bring it to the park in a trailer behind his van.
