Tigers vs A's: July 7-9 : Harris dilemna, trade or keep Skubal

They left him in for 1 batter after it happened but it sure didn’t take them long to get him out of the game once they looked at it in the dugout.

You could literally see the stitch lines from the ball on the top of his hand. Instantly black and blue right where that little bone is at.

Please don’t let it be broken…

They took him out to hit but they left him in to finish the last half inning defensively.

Ok

We just moved up 2 spots in the wildcard standings with a Orioles loss and the win over the a’s. About to be tied with boston if they lose

X-rays are negative on Dingler. They are running more tests tomorrow to be sure.

Might have dodged a bullet.

Tigers are not out of it- trade for a right-hand bat and some BP help. Watching Cleveland blow another tonight. And Chicago is better, but their SP can’t match up with the Tigers. Do your F’ing job Harris! Get some help! F this rebuilding BS! Scub-Mize-Melton-Jobe-Montaro-Olsen + Jacobs.. next 4/5 years–make this happen!

Or you get quality relievers and/or bats for Skubal. Tigers are gonna have to keep kicking ass the rest of this month.

Trade now. If for no other reaaon you get to DFA Jahmai Jones for the 26 man spot. But trade now, make more impact in these 20ish remaining games. Then add again at the deadline

I think the biggest need for this team is bullpen by a wide margin over a bat.

4 games back in the WC
5.5 games back in the division.

Trading Skubal gets you some pieces for this year and going forward, starting pitching remaining is still good. Add couple pen guys and Montero back to the rotation as a result.

I agree with you.

This bullpen cannot win a World Series. They’re practically unplayable. That has to change.

When one gets to the playoffs the starting rotation can be shortened which adds to the bullpen’s talent level.

Starters include Mize, Framber, Melton, Jack F. and Skubal. Keider Montaro is a valuable 6th arm.

Melton and Keider might make Skubal available. Jobe lurks out there too.

Team needs: a real 3rd baseman. An upgrade at center. If we trade Skubal I think it is for win now players.
