Tigers and Twins are among many teams trying to land either of two available A’s star starters — Sean Manaea or Frankie Montas. A’s fire sale continues.
@confusion_reign Also, if your goal is to win in the playoffs, it’s reasonable to be upset that teams that likely already have better rosters are now going to get the better SS options. Even more so when your owner has been constantly talking about being serious about winning for months now
With Jon Gray off the board, one name worth pursuing is Alex Cobb. Visited driveline and tweaked mechanics ahead of last season and his peripherals looked really nice for a bit there. Has more upside than traditional one year fixer upper guys
ROSTER MOVES: We have released RHP Tanner Anderson, catcher Taylor Davis and INF/OF Phillip Evans from the 40-man roster.
Our 40-man roster now stands at 37 players.
This is a fantastic deal for the Tigers. Some will say it’s an overlay but ERod has had fantastic peripherals the last few seasons and should thrive in Comerica
Sources: The Tigers are close to finalizing a multiyear deal with free agent LHP Eduardo Rodriguez.
Rodriguez had a 4.16 ERA and 3.32 FIP last season for the Red Sox. Finished sixth in Cy Young voting in 2019.
