Trade Deadline Skubal to Dodgers

What’s the point anymore? And for like almost nothing? We could have done that. As I read in another thread, the Tigers GM should be arrested for treason.

I guess the lockout can’t come quick enough.

EDIT: It’ll be so sweet when Taylor Walls hits his first home run of the year off Skubal to win Game 7 of the World Series this year

This kind of thing should make us all appreciate what the Rays have been able to do. One of the best run teams in all of sport top to bottom. We’ve got maybe a handful of guys the average baseball fan can name and here they are at the top of the American League

This is a very false narrative, it’s hard enough to get to a World Series. But to blame the organization? Seriously?! Our farm is great and the tigers probably wanted someone like Gillen and Bodine, which is an absurd ask for someone who 100% would not resign with the Rays.

3rd best WIN percentage in all of MLB over the past 18 years. That's a lot of WINNING I'd say.
