PaleAleSox Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I don't understand why they would do this. Tigers actually have a chance to compete in the division next year. If you aren't by this time next year, then you move him. I'd be livid as a Tigers fan if they traded him this year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be alot of "smoke" around this time. Some of it will be b.s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Tigers are in a far different spot than the White Sox, and have ownership that has and will spend. Skubal talk is just that IMO, talk. Crochet and Skubal are in totally different situations and I don’t see why Detroit even entertains the idea of a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, depending on what a team is looking to spend, maybe they can shift them over to Flaherty. And maybe to gauge Skubal's perceived value ahead of the off-season and perhaps next year's TDL, if the team doesn't make a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their payroll is 24 th in the league and is 40 million less than the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are rumors that the Tigers are going to try to sign Juan Soto when he becomes a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they have any money left for anyone else then? That will be interesting to watch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm here. This ain't the dad, Mike Ilych, spending his money to see a world series champ once before he leaves the Earth. It's his kids trying to hang onto their inheritance.

The fact that they have spent in the past? Granted, we don't know if Christopher Illitch will spend like his father, but they have a better history with FA spending that the White Sox do. Trading Skubal now seems rather premature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d take them going forward (after this season) over the Royals. Edited July 22 by GreenSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the trading part. That's why I'm wondering about the spending. Trading Skubal, and spending big seems to be opposite philosophies.

Pretty sure Chris Illitch has been anti spending money. I forget the specifics, but the Tigers were one of the few teams to vote against a pro-spending rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey21 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) I think it’s more likely they make a bigger splash of Luis Robert and Garret Crochet than trading for Skubal especially if they’re talking about trading Cedric Mullins Edited July 23 by Rey21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably trying to trade him to get help now in other areas then let him walk for nothing. Plus they got Kjerstad and others to fill in if Mullins is traded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, since Mike Illich died, their spending has taken a blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
