Flaherty is literally unplayable at the moment…gone full Maeda…fast track to DFA as soon as some arms get back

The outfielders should just sit in the grass and drink a beer. No sense in trying to chase homeruns down.

This is so sad to see what this team has become, after knowing what they were supposed to be.

With Mize back and Skubal not that far away, at what point does AJ stop trotting out Flaherty as a starter? His ERA is over 6!!

I can’t believe he’s still rostered in our fantasy league.

Getting Skubal back so we can trade him before the deadline.

Gausman has a great name for a pitcher.

Nickname is too easy…. the Gas Man!

The problem just isn’t going away. Even if you consider him your 5th starter its way way below expected performance.

Maybe we could try him in the bullpen and tell him to just throw his two best pitches. He’s paid too much for that but at this point it’s better than nothing.

For what? A low draft pick? Who will pick up the contact? How much is he making? I have no idea.

Flaherty as a #4 or #5 is fine

BlackJack is on fire. Only down 4 in the 5th!

No chance in hell we decide to sell considering both the investment put into this team in the offseason and the run they went on in 2024 at the end of the regular season.

It would require several top prospects.

He is making $32 million for 2026.

If they trade him in late July around the 20-24th, the new team would need to pay ~ 1/3 of that salary — or roughly $11 million for the rest of season.

There are plenty of teams in contention that can afford that salary.

If Melton comes back and looks good, I wouldn’t mind seeing Tarik, Framber, Mize, Mintero, and Melton as the starting 5 rotation.

Verlander will be back at some point too. I know he looked crappy in that one start but it was only one start.

I feel like he can give us real #5 numbers at least. A couple average starts here and there, a couple bad starts here and there, and a really good start once in a while.

There is just no reason this team should be this bad.
