If this is true it would’ve been nice if we could’ve kept it under wraps considering he has no trade clause

I’m not entirely sure how to feel because now I’m not really sure what return would look like

If the Tigers are gonna make a run at all, it’s gonna be over the next month without Skubal

That means Mize, Melton, Montero, JV, Jack and Framber pitched well enough to win a ton of games, which is even more reason to trade Skubal to help the offense

[bharath @bkkotha]

@MarcAPerna @wxcameron @IYKbaseball Health, durability, postseason experience, ability to eat innings ( I think he has as many CG as Skubal and second most 7+ innings games over the last 3 years) and honestly he’s stuff has gotten better

I truly think he’d be a great 4-5 starter on a playoff team

[bharath @bkkotha]

@BuckGenoIII @PresselGavin @UMFanJosh Yea I think they’re are a few ways they could about watching some guys.

I don’t think they’re too worried about Melton but I’m looking at today differently since he was rolling, we need to start watching our own, and he still won’t throw a ton of innings this season

[bharath @bkkotha]

@BuckGenoIII @UMFanJosh Yea I agree especially when guys like Montero, Mize and Valdez are so used to every 5th day but I think they’d do something to watch Olsen, Jobe and to a lesser degree Meltons innings

[bharath @bkkotha]

@BuckGenoIII @UMFanJosh I’d be okay with that although I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep him up if he comes up when he’s healthy.

But I’d be okay with him or Olsen starting in AAA since he’s barely pitched in like 2-3 years

[bharath @bkkotha]

@wxcameron @IYKbaseball If you don’t realize how important Montero has been for this team since 2024

He was great last postseason and pitching chaos doesn’t work on 2024 without him.

The best ability is availability and he’s more available than Mize, Jobe and Olsen with better numbers than Jobe

[bharath @bkkotha]

@BuckGenoIII @UMFanJosh I would honestly be surprised if we didn’t go to like a 6 man rotation to keep an eye on the innings for Melton, Olsen and Jobe with they’re age and injury history

Montero, Mize and Framber might have the most reliablity from a health standpoint

[bharath @bkkotha]

@HonoluluBlues_ Don’t forget Melton and Valdez because at somepoint at least one of those guys is getting hurt

[bharath @bkkotha]

Holy moly this offense
Is Dingler the best Catcher in the league?
Is that 7 homer runs in 22 innings? I think that’s more than we’ve had in like the last two weeks of May

[bharath @bkkotha]

@Miggysbat I largely agree but I still think it would’ve been nice Tork, Vierling, Perez and ZMAC step up and play at least replacement level

That said the difference between needing all 4 to play daily and Tork be a top 4ish bat vs a bottom 3 bat and not needing all 4 is wild

[bharath @bkkotha]

If the reports about the Tigers pitching are true and we have no set backs, then that’s a bigger reason to trade Skubal once he’s healthy
If Valdez, JV, Jack, Montero, Melton, Mize, Madden, and Jobe are all back by June, that’s a rotation that can win games even without Skubal

[bharath @bkkotha]

@Yooper_IA I was telling people a couple months ago
If Tork put up numbers like last year and was one 6/7 bat (Gleyber, Kevin, Riley, Dingler, Kerry, +/- Colt) we’d be fine

It’s a lot harder when we need him to be a top 4 bat

[bharath @bkkotha]

@Miggysbat He saw Torres come back and our tweets complaining that Lee got sent down instead of him so he wanted to prove us wrong

[bharath @bkkotha]

18 runs in 16 innings in June, I hope this is a real wake up

They scored 17 in 6 games vs Boston and KC combined
Then 20 in 10 games vs the Mets, Jays and Cleveland
And ended May with 16 runs in 6 games vs the Angels and Sox

Just sucks we lost like 11 games by 2 or less in May

[bharath @bkkotha]

What on earth has gotten into this offense

[bharath @bkkotha]

In the 10 innings of baseball we’ve played in June we’ve scored 12 runs

I’m pretty that’s more than we scored in 2/3 of the series we played in May

[bharath @bkkotha]

If this is for everyday ABs I guess I’m okay, but choosing Zach short over Lee feels very dumb

[Chris McCosky @cmccosky]

Hao-Yu Lee optioned to Triple-A Toledo for Gleyber Torres

[bharath @bkkotha]

There are literally not enough words to describe what it’s like watching this team

[bharath @bkkotha]

There was a 10 game stretch over 3 series (Mets, Jays, Guardians) where we went 1-9 with a combined 21 runs and scored less than 8 in all 3 series (plus this last weekend)

They have 8 runs in 6 innings, maybe we just didn’t like May?
