What is the asking price for Skubal? It has to be inflated somewhat, as he is coming to FA, correct?

Is Miller only due for arbitration, correct?

Who needs Arraez? I mean, what club goes all in and pays way too heavily to chase a title?

they may not even trade him so who knows

he is coming to free agency but that will deflate the price

yes still has 3 arbitration years and considering he's the most dominant pitcher in the world right now, the selling price for him would be exorbitant

sounds like the Yankees or Rays

They will probably make another trade like last year when they acquired an injured Mike Soroka.

Yeah, Jed seems to have an annoying habit of getting as many injured pitchers as they can and hoping they luck up and hit the jackpot on 1 of 20. Boyd is one who worked out pretty good, can't really think of too many others who have.

Completely agree. Funny thing is Soroka's velocity suddenly dipped and they still made the deal.

He actually is pitching very well this year, wish the Cubs had him.

So are the Tigers giving up on the playoffs or does that even matter.

Been suggested they might target young but capable pitching to try to thread the needle but we will see

Short of winning the World Series there's no positive outcome to keeping Skubal. At the end of the season they've got no title, no Skubal, and nothing in return for him.

Yep. They’re not going the Angels Shohei model for baseball management route. He’ll get dealt.

If you can’t or won’t resign him you have to trade him.

Their lineup is nowhere close to being able to win a WS so you have to trade him if your owner isn’t going to go all in.

And the tigers lose. That has to be the nail in the coffin.

Agreed. Not dealing him would be a horrendous decision.

I wish I could trust the Red Sox medical staff on injury timelines.

In this case I think they’re downplaying the injury hoping to not seem desperate and give away any leverage for other players.
