most knowledgeable fans would have understood trading him away if the Tigers still went out and spent the $32M in savings on another pitcher and maybe a bat. Now they will likely miss the playoffs and get next to nothing in return for Skubal

Valdez found out what was going on but a couple innings too late and I’m sure was PISSED about it! Story got one in between the numbers because of it.
The sox were stealing signs and relaying to the batter.


Maybe he has to do a better job of concealing his pitches and grip in the glove.
And grow up.
