The Tiger's budget pitching infusion is kind of funny. The No Frills trade deadline trip. Acquired Codi Heuer (in the minors right now?) for cash Acquired Kyle Finnegan (4+ ERA and xFIP) for Josh Randall and RJ Sales Acquired Paul Sewald (IL)(4+ ERA and xFIP) for cash/PTBNL Acquired Rafael Montero (negative WAR) for Jim Jarvis Acquired Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak for some guy Talk about throwing s*** at the wall

Ben Hess and Everson Pereira for Bednar incoming

Hicks was free in hindsight.

*team trades a top prospect for Shane Bieber* **minutes later** "I just don't see this front office landing an elite reliever" - JaysTwentyFart

not enough trades happening! wake up MLB!

okayyyy so we aren't getting Kwan

Personally, I see no reason to give Manoah any MLB starts this year unless the division is clinched. I believe Toronto can just option him when his rehab is over. He might have also suffered some sort of setback. Last pitched July 20th. -
Probably because: most of the players suck the small number of players who don't suck actually have other domestic options so they require too much money to leave. they just enter the KBO pipeline rather than uproot their entire life for a $100k signing bonus.

I will laugh so hard if Preller burns De Vries then trades Cease
-
Holy crap. They traded De Vries.
-
No, it means he gets $4M from the team if he declines his option. It was basically a way for Cleveland to defer money so they could maybe avoid ever paying it if he was traded.
-
Like, Bieber is more of a 2/$60M extension candidate for me. Assuming he stays healthy through the playoffs and looks good. Some kind of prove it deal like the ones we saw Snell and Matt Chapman go through. And Pete Alonso just sign.
-
I'm still scratching my head at what Jack Flaherty settled for last offseason. No matter what Bieber does he's going to have a tiny sample platform year so I can't see 6 years
-
If everyone stays healthy and nobody is traded, I wonder if they just go with a 6 man rotation from here on.
-
Doubt they'd have to even go that high he might be more of a 4/$80 dude

Kind of had to take some form of risk to try to get an SP1 or SP2 for the playoffs given the options available. Risk on Bieber's health Risk on Alcantara's talent Risk on Edward Cabrera or Dylan Cease's massive acquisition cost
-
Hmmm. The player option in 2026 makes Bieber so hard to evaluate. And the injury/rehab of course. I wonder if we will find out that some sort of decision or clarity around the option is part of this.
-
There is no chance that Toronto does nothing else. Worst case Ontario they fail to land any big upgrades, for whatever reason, and pivot to last minute RP and SP depth adds. That would suck I guess. But it looks like it will incredibly difficult to pull off a meaningful SP upgrade.

Yes for sure. Heard on a podcast this morning that last deadline there was one top 100 prospect traded and they ranked 99th on Keith Law's list. Thayron Liranzo. The best prospects traded last year in context were Liranzo, Agustin Ramirez (who was a sleeper 50 FV), Bloss, and Dylan Lesko. These were 50 FV or fringe 50 FV guys at the time. All very much back end top 100 candidates. Not really exciting. And Ramirez was traded for a controllable, good MLB player not a rental. It is weird. The wild card chase should make it a hard seller's market but teams are just so hesitant to give up good prospects, for anything. This year so far... Jesus Baez is a back end top 100 guy arguably. For part of Helsley. Tait and Abel can be seen as 50 FV guys, I guess. That might be it for 50 FV or fringe 50 FV guys. So think back end top 100 of honourable mentions territory. The Devers trade may not have even fetched a top 100 talent. No obvious 50+ FV. Kyle Harrison used to be one.

Today is the day.

Pretty consistent minor league track record of hitting. Has decent max EV and bat speed and sprint speed and arm and all that. Did not actually have big K issues along the way. Probably working on specific things this year in AAA. He's like a soft five tool guy. I'm sure some teams would appreciate him... as a complementary piece.
