LOS ANGELES -- There was only one umpiring crew working Monday night when word of Wally Bell's death circulated, which made the ensuing hours very difficult, especially for six members of a very tight umpiring fraternity.

 

Bell, a veteran umpire with 21 years of Major League experience, reportedly suffered a massive heart attack on Monday in his hometown of Youngstown, Ohio. He was 48.

 

Bell joined the NL staff in 1993 and umpired three All-Star Games (1997, 2000, 2013), seven Division Series (1998-99, '03-04, '06, '12-13), four League Championship Series (2000, '01, '05, '10) and the 2006 World Series, when he was behind the plate for Game 3 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

 

Bell was the first-base umpire in the 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field in New York and most recently was a member of the crew that worked this year's NL Division Series between the Pirates and Cardinals.

Former 1st-rounder Aaron Poreda signs minor league deal with Texas. Now healthy after Tommy John, Poreda fastball was up to 97 in a workout.

 

Fine Texas, why don't you just sign all the former White Sox lefties

I know you're kidding but what about Kershaw, Scherzer, Grienke, Ryu....

Signing him will be problematic

Scherzer, Hunter, and VMart all hit FA that year, the Tigers have $90 million already committed to 2015 just for 4 guys, and Doug pFister and Austin Jackson will be in their 3rd Arb years in 2015 and will probably cost $10 million+ each that year as well.

 

The only way they can stay out of long-term financial trouble is if their owner is willing to continue losing money.

 

Yep. VMart and Hunter will be gone for sure (Torii will retire, I assume). Scherzer is looking like a potential $150-200 million guy and we may see Verlander turn into a complete albatross by this time.

 

Miguel will be in the final year of his deal as well and they'll have to gear up for giving him a Pujols-esque contract. Meanwhile, like you said, those two other guys will be expensive and also a year away from FA.

 

And don't forget that this year they're (potentially) losing Peralta, Infante, Benoit to FA

They have Peralta's replacement for next year covered.

 

Yeah, they're going to be really sick of him really quickly. That team may wind up not having a great offense in the near future
