Exactly. We've seen what the Nats / Padres Soto deal returned to the Nats. If like the Nats and Soto, Tigers won't pony up the money for Skubal, they need to move him.
-
True. I posted hoping to spark discussion on the potential return. Sheehan was the first name that came to mind. Edgardo Henriquez also likely. Hope or De Paula. And one other SP.
-
Spitballing, but seems plausible
-
As the center of the return, Bowden has Detroit acquiring Los Angeles ace Tyler Glasnow in addition to high upside current MLB arm Emmet Sheehan and highly-rated outfield prospect Zyhir Hope.
-
.420 BABIP and 1.3% BB rate Maybe the Jays should sign Kike.
-
We will see. His playing time will likely be suppressed regardless because the skipper tends to give everyone on the team a reasonable amount of playing time. And there are good reasons for this approach as we saw in the PS.
-
Pitchers are a riskier investment. Skubal doesn't have the best health record. He had TJS in 2017, Then in August 2022 he had flexor tendon surgery that kept him out for almost a year. They also of course have more details than other teams on the health of Skubal's arm.

I agree with the bolded part above. What started this discussion was when you said Ernie should get 650+ PA. That's what I responded to. He won't. Also the link you got the empirical formula from finishes with "Like all forecasts, these are estimations (and crude ones, at that)." In other words, take your results with a grain of salt. It is not improbable that the spread in WRC+ between DS and EC increases, as DS enters his age 27 (typical start of a player's peak) year.

I see the Tigers as a potential destination for Tucker. They can dream on a Riley Greene, Max Clark, and Kyle Tucker OF. They have payroll room, and can build an elite lineup around Greene, Clark, Tucker, and McGonigle.

LA Dodgers is where relievers go to die
-
You are right. Was just going off the reporting I've seen.
-
He leads MLB in errors at SS. It's a question that gets asked often.
-
I think they want to transition Soto to 1B. He's terrible in the OF. Would be fantastic for my BORED team, with Elly expected to move to the OF.
-
Lawlar is my break out pick for 2026
-
Just select News, it should be at the top

From BA today. From the words sounds like Ford's potential has backed up some. Basically OBP and not a whole lot else: He is still only 22-years-old, so there’s further time for him to develop but he’s viewed as a below-average defender who needs to improve his framing. He has improved his blocking and he did show above-average pop times in Triple-A. As a hitter, Ford has always posted excellent on-base percentages. He does not chase pitches out of the strike zone and he has solid contact skills. While he can post above-average exit velocities, his swing is not geared for power. He struggles to pull the ball in the air. Ford has always run extremely well for a catcher, but he did slow down in 2025. He posted average to fringe-average run times.
-
Are we sure. This could be just off season roster management machinations, and YR is on the team out of ST. But probably for reasons of suckage per your post.
-
I think in this scenario for the half season before another team picks him up, half his salary (or however it gets divided) counts against the Jays CBT.
-
Yeah seems strange, but MLB have a different (higher than laypeople) valuation of relievers with shutdown stuff like Ferrer.
-
That's why I said roughly 100. I have read articles where Longenhagen says he intentionally uses that cutoff (probably as a control on grade creep). Forget about consistency between the various prospect sites, they all have their own arbitrary practices.
-
Just so you know, Longenhagen's practice is that any prospect that is 50 FV or above is a top 100 prospect. So he has an arbitrary practice of having roughly 100 50 FV or higher prospects at any time. BA does not use the above practice.
-
So 60 is plus, not an all star? Again, how the the different sites use the 20-80 scale is arbitrary according to their own convention. They even use different criteria for when a prospect has graduated to MLB, which is why a player may show up on one top 100 list but not another.
-
60FV being an all star is FG's convention. All of the prospect sites use different conventions. The only thing standardized is the 20-80 scale.
-
Not a different system, just the FG guy longenhagen gives out 50+ grades sparingly.
-
Gotta use the nuclear option when Dunning Kruger gets tossed in the mix
