With 13 days until the deadline how do the Tigers pull the trigger on that deal. My goodness just awful. Take it down to the wire. Just goes to show you why you should trade players with another year of control instead of waiting until their final year.
Does he though? I don't know. Obviously he adds an element of speed but absolutely no power. He doesn't get on base and his defence is average at best.
Outside of adding speed he doesn't bring much to the table. If we were to take his full contract we better be trading next to nothing prospect wise.
If a team makes a great offer for Happ and the Jays refuse it because we don't have many starting options next year I will be extremely pissed. Hes going to be 35 next year sell high please.
They will hang onto him and watch him be s*** next year so we get nothing for him at the deadline.
Considering they have rostered Goins this long I'm not very confident they will find a replacement. May as well trot him out and hope he figures something out.
Doubtful he gets anything for more than 4 or 5 million plus incentives.
It's really unfortunate that all our trade assets have got hurt or s*** the bed this year. We aren't going to get anything back for Liriano and Estrada. And since Joe Smith has been hurt a month we will get a nothing prospect for him despite how well hes pitched.
This really is the worst season ever.
Its the same reason why some people don't like Baseball. The little nuances of the game go unappreciated. Mayweather is greatest defensive boxer ever and hes very technically sound almost never making a mistake.
People just want to see guys throw haymakers at each other. If fighters did that the careers of fighters wouldn't last very long.
Connor is a striker. He feels very comfortable boxing. He actually prefers it. Hes not that great on the ground. He's only ever lost in the UFC by submission and that isn't an option here. He has to knock Mayweather out to win though. He hits hard and has the stamina to keep hitting Mayweather.
Mayweather will have a simple gameplan that will give him the win leaving it up to the judging. I hope Connor knocks him out but Mayweather is way to good defensively to leave any openings to an inexperienced Boxer.
It's promoting the fight. I think the first 2 were entertaining but they decided to do 4 in 4 straight days and just stale and cringy. 2 men can only call each other little bitches so many times.
If they waited a few weeks on Morales they probably get him for one year at 8M. That's the most disappointing part. You don't give 33 year old bad body DH's 3 year deals. You take it year by year. He's such a black hole on this roster and it was easily avoidable.
-Mega Blowup
Donaldson, Happ, Estrada, Liriano, Osuna, Montero, Barney, Smoak, Bautista all traded.
-Martin Tulo, and Morales finish 2017 strong.
-Alford get everyday at-bats when healthy
That's pretty much it. This team won't sniff the playoffs
