Odd that they didnt trade Torres.

I saw that Hope is the highest rated(#25) prospect traded for a rental in the last 20 years. So im not sure why people keep saying they didnt get enough.

Thats what a few are saying on MLB network.

It’s possible nobody wanted him?

It’s possible nobody wanted him?

It's possible that no one offered enough to make it worth trading him instead of just keeping him through the rest of the season.

I just thought Harris would try and pick up a bullpen arm, and I know Torres can hit but why block Lee so much ?

The Dodgers aren't the biggest villains in the Tarik Skubal trade -- the cowardly teams who let it happen are

Baseball's problem isn't that the Dodgers traded for Tarik Skubal, it's who let the trade happen

Three gutless teams. Brewers, Rays and Especially the Tigers

The Tigers should never have traded Skubal in the first place​

Then again, he shouldn't have even been available. Did I say gutless above? That's not even a strong enough word for the Tigers front office. How unbelievably and pathetically cowardly. It's equally baffling and infuriating. The Tigers were 2 ½ games out of a playoff spot and traded arguably the best pitcher in baseball. Read this sentence again.

The Tigers were 2 ½ games out of a playoff spot and traded arguably the best pitcher in baseball.

Pitiful.

How is the discourse centered on the Dodgers instead of shaming the Tigers into oblivion? They gave up on their season less than a series out of a playoff spot. The Tigers have gone 32-20 since the end of May. At that rate, they'd have ended up with one of the AL Wild Card spots. And the front office quit on the team.


Sure, they could try and spin it any which way they so desire -- "they couldn't let Skubal walk for nothing this offseason," being the main argument -- but dealing your ace while within striking distance of a playoff spot in a wide-open American League is waving a white flag.

Shame on them.

Yes, the focus is going to remain on the Dodgers and how "no fair!" baseball is. We knew that was coming.

But the main focus should absolutely be on the woeful behavior of the Tigers front office in addition to the cowardice from the Brewers, Rays et al.


Im just shocked they didn’t try snd get some bullpen help.
I guess the tigers are waiting till 2028.

As the dust settles on a wild deadline, there are contenders and rebuilders alike who wish they could've done a bit more.

I don't hate it. Added 4 pitchers to a farm system that really didn't have good pitching depth. 2 guys that they got are in the Tigers top 6 on our new prospect rankings. I have to believe that Hope will be in RF next year. Once they traded Mize, I was hoping that Torres was soon to follow, but that didn't happen. The rotation for the rest of the year is going to be terrible, but you never know....as bad as the AL is this year, it wouldn't surprise me if they are still in the conversation for the WC in September. I'm still happy they sold. They weren't WS contenders, so get what you can get.

stupid article. They were 2.5 games out. On paper, that is one series...but that is if they were playing one team that was in front of them. There are 5 teams in front of them. They did the right thing

doesn't look good, but they did the right thing. Once they traded Mize, I was really disappointed that nobody wanted Torres.

Besides that we all know they only do just enough to keep you hoping then go and lose games to the royals and blow 7-0 leads late and stuff like that. Now watch them take 2-3 from Seattle then go and get swept by the giants. That’s how they roll.

Verlander is still here as well. A hamstring issue is 4-6 weeks, its been about that.
