Yet still doesn’t give the timeline of his trade request lol

"For me, I think it was just time for the next chapter. It wasn’t an easy decision, it was something that I took a little bit more time than what’s been out there.”

Brady Tkachuk on his trade request out of Ottawa.

Miami Bucks.

[Evan Sidery @esidery]

Khris Middleton is a free agent target to monitor for the Heat after trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @WindhorstESPN.

Middleton and Giannis helped bring Milwaukee their first championship together.

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

Celtics and Bucks swapping Giannis and Brown makes zero sense unless Bucks are trading Brown after.

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

@TonyPaul1984 I hope it’s cause all the scouts from other teams are filling the seats

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

It’s nothing to do with religion. It’s MLB uniform rules lol if they write “hi mom” on their hat they will get fined.

[Rob Schneider 🇺🇸 @RobSchneider]

I have contacted the @SFGiants
These three players are not multi millionaire players. They get the league minimum.
Christians cannot be made to wear anything that is against their deeply held religious beliefs.

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

Of 41 eligible Tigers players, Matt Vierling is 37th in WAR on the team. So we just decide to bat him 3rd? These beat writers need to start grilling Hinch on these decisions.

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

Can we please just leave Greene in 3 hole permanently

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

Good thing we still refuse to put our best hitter in the 3 hole. Instead we have a .200 hitter batting 3rd in a clutch situation. Insane.

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

Sell sell sell. #Tigers

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

Jones was a great story last year. But come on. You gotta send him down.

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

@jfawley11 Oh yeah. Good one. So 2 moves coming then.

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

Unfortunately probably means Flaherty to IL.

[Chris McCosky @cmccosky]

Hao-Yu Lee is here. More roster shuffling coming

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

Not the Jacob I wanted.

[Chris McCosky @cmccosky]

The Tigers have acquired RHP Jacob Waguespack from the Milwaukee Brewers for a player to be named or cash consideration.

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

Stoney breaking news?!

[michael stone @stoney16]

Reliable sources are suggesting to me that Kalel Ware is headed to Milwaukee in a package that would send Giannis to Miami.
I would assume Tyler Herro and Davien Mitchell would be in the deal.
Also don’t be stunned if Kawhi ends up in Miami as well.
This is not a report.

I don’t think Kevin McGonigle is getting enough love.

He’s a 21 year old that won the starting job in Spring Training literally just by forcing the hand of the organization. That was NOT the plan.

And now because the Tigers season hasn’t gone to plan we are talking more about that than the fact that there’s this 21 year old kid that’s going to be an All-Star putting up elite numbers while being the Tigers best player and playing every day.

Kevin McGonigle is a star and I’m happy he’s a Detroit Tiger for a long time to come.

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

@BenVerlander What’s crazy is that exit velocity and bat speed will improve as he gets older.

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

@HeyYouVideoGame I think you need to add a plugin. Maybe Aitum Vertical?

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

Oh no. We’re gonna sweep the Rays then become buyers aren’t we?

[Matthew LaFave @MatthewLaFave]

@AdamSchefter Working out of that clearance bin.
