I dont understand these random shots at shitty relievers

 

[gotime909]

Traded with Cleveland for relief pitcher Paul Sewald. Harris is just dumpster diving

 

[coulomb]

What is with this bargain bin shopping?

Do the tigers think they are the smartest team in the league? or are they just cheap?

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers reportedly acquire RHP Paul Sewald from Guardians, per multiple reports.
Boring.

 

[gotime909]

If the Tigers don't see this as a 1 1/2 year window of having skubal then trade the guy now!!!! His value goes down every day from here on. Either go all in now or trade him. Those are the only 2 options you have. This is just ridiculous

Even better, hes on the IL with a shoulder strain lol

 

[tigermud]

I don’t get the trades for guys that are no better than anyone we already have. Bizarre stuff Harris.

I hope they trade him this off season

No way they trade him when they are 9 games up, I can see it in the offseason

Yea, it sucks, but the contract he will command is stupid.

Agree, that's why you at least give it a go this year. They have plenty of fire power for trades without giving up their top 5 guys. The haul for Suarez wasn't much.

Kyle finnegan now

At least he was an all star last year

They are cornering the market on mid to crappy relievers

 

[gotime909]

Hurter and Hanifee are still the 3rd and 4th option in our pen after these adds. That's a problem

 

[kalinecountry]

To make room for Sewald, the Tigers have DFA Matt Manning.

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers are sending pitching prospects Josh Randall and RJ Sales to DC in exchange for Kyle Finnegan.
Both RJ Salas (10th round) and Josh Randall (3rd round) were drafted last season. Randall was just promoted to West Michigan.

 

[kalinecountry]

Another move to raise the floor of the pen for presumably cheap.
Finnegan has a 4.38 ERA and slightly below average K/Whiff rates. An all star last year and a career 3.66 ERA. Certainly the best bullpen arm they’ve added so far, but can’t be the best one they bring in. Aim higher please.

 

[kalinecountry]

Miller, Duran, Hensley, two of whom are massively controllable even if you needed to burn a 1B who won’t start till 2027, and not waste Tarik Skubal.
This needed to be done.. period .. it's childish it wasn’t .. it’s cheating the team and the fans.

they should have aimed higher to begin with. I'm not sure how cheap it was. The one guy was their #15 prospect. Finnegan doesn't move the needle for me.

Id guess they're done unless they add a bat.
