That would be 65-97 if they maintained that pace for AN ENTIRE SEASON. Of course, the Tigers didn't actually field competitive line-ups those last couple of games (after they clinched post-season positioning on FRI). Expand The Tigers started 7 of their playoff starters in the final game of the season. Dude, you're just making s%*# up at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Anyone remember when Gallo turned down an extension from the Rangers in 2021? Bad career move, as he’s earned around $30 million since then instead. Still rich but ego and listening to Boras fucked him out of a lot more money. https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/rangers/2021/08/01/rangers-contract-extension-offer-left-joey-gallo-scott-boras-with-a-question-no-counter-offer/?outputType=amp Quote The Rangers, according to a source, made Gallo a five-year offer worth $84 million in guaranteed money with incentives that could carry its value to more than $100 million. He and Gallo passed on the offer without a counterproposal. Expand Edited February 14 by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 As someone mentioned on X, adding Dalbec and Gallo as NRIs is going to put more pressure on Vaughn. I have a feeling Gallo makes the team and gets some starts at 1B and in the OF against RH pitchers. I'm not going to expect anything from him, especially based on his stats over the last few years. But maybe this will light a fire under Vaughn's ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
