@UnderdogMLB Where is the article and the quote. I believe it as so many guys have played together for years: minors, majors and playoffs. Give the players another legit bat and proven closer not +40 yrs old
@Dickey20@the_det_times Keep Skubal. Show trust in this team and then sign him to one of those Boras deals where he can opt out. He wants to stay with team if willing to invest and take a few risks on a bat and a closer.
@CodyStavenhagen Keep him and the vibe on the team. Play ball aggressive trades for closer and bat. This team is a close-knit team - been through minors and playoffs. I think it builds trust between players and mgmt, improving chances to resign Skubal, especially with new CBA. Be all in!
@BTsportscards@Notorious_Det Agree.Take it one game at a time. Don’t mess with the chemistry on the team by trading Skubal. Add take a risk and go for a bonafide closer with control ( Mason Miller? ). I think we can still find a way to sign Skubal with a new CBA - he’s been with these guys long time.
@BenVerlander Like it. And it shows faith in Skubal who likes to bet on himself and give Tigers a “better” chance to sign him - a Boras-like contract with 3 years and opt out. Keep proving we will field a WS-worthy team with investment in bullpen and sign Mize, Melton, Montero to extensions
@the_det_times As tough as it was to see Dingler go out, what a meaningful game for Rogers: a “dinger”, 2 for 2, walk and on day Verlander added to All
Star ( the one remaining player in the Verlander trade). Wow. Good thoughts for Dingler.
