Shut him down to spring training. I'm just glad that they settled him in at first base.Tork's ankle is dead.
Who led the American League in doubles this year?

Definitely a great move especially with a weak crop of free agent catchers. The Reds weren't going to sign him so instead of bidding against other teams in free agency they get him for next to nothing and are only committed for one year.Spartans Rule said:Tigers get Tucker Barnhart
I like it. Two-time Gold Glove catcher, not great with the bat but adequate. Should be good for the young staff. He'll make $7.5M in 2022 which seems a little steep, but there's no commitment beyond that and it's not like the Tigers are up against the luxury tax.
Prospect going the other way, Nick Quintana, just hit .196 as a 23-year-old in Low-A. It's disappointing he's been that bad since he was a 2019 2nd rounder but at this point he doesn't seem like much of a loss.
Funny how that trade looks good from the Cubs to Detroit now.Who led the American League in doubles this year?

The negative is the strikeouts but he still has a nice combo of power, speed and glove.I know we all want Correa, but getting Baez is not too shabby regardless.
He’s more of a 5/6 hitter in a good lineup but he’s a player with exceptional athleticism, raw power, and a real flare for the game. K rate is ridiculous and we can hope he stops swinging at everything, but this is a very good baseball player.
29 with both a gold glove and a silver slugger award to go with two all star games. Sure beats running Willi Castro out there every day.
I like it.
Matthew Boyd seems like a decent candidate for a bounceback somewhere.
It would be nice if they spent that 150 on another player but I'm not holding my breath. They have already spent more than many were expecting from this current owner.Compared last year stats between Correa and Baez and was suprised.
Baez 31 HRs Correa 26
Correa 91 RBIs Baez 88
SBs Baez 18 Correa 0
BA Correa 276 Baez 265
Is Correa really worth at least 150 million more?
might have to put me down for a tall glass of Kool-Aid2022 win total projected at 77.5.
I'd probably take the over on that. KC and MIN will be very beatable. I'd think 80 wins is doable with the additions they've made.2022 win total projected at 77.5.
Skipper says Miggy will bat either 5th or 6th this year.
Will Torkelson and Greene bat in Detroit or Toledo?
Toledo for more seasoning, as soon as they can`t get a year's credit toward free agency they will be seasoned.
If they finish 1-2 in AL ROY voting they both will get a full year of service time
With that nasty flat brim?Went to buy a new Tigers hat. Hats are $41.00 now.
With that nasty flat brim?
He has a team that can compete and is making moves accordingly. We can rake him through the coals over his misses in prior years, but ultimately we weren't competing then so why bandaid when you aren't winning anyway. It's been a long time, but...I'm excited for tigers baseballAustin Meadows for Paredes and a pick?
Maybe Avila knows what he’s doing?
Tork will start low to minimize the pressure, but if he hits then he will move up fast. Story will be the same for Greene once his wheel is fixed.Even if they both make the opening day roster, they might be lower in the lineup. This was the lineup Hinch used a couple times in spring games:
Akil Baddoo (left field)
Robbie Grossman (right field)
Javier Baez (shortstop)
Jeimer Candelario (third base)
Miguel Cabrera (designated hitter)
Schoop (second base)
Riley Greene (center field)
Spencer Torkelson (first)
Tucker Barnhart (C)
