Jesus he is still only 29. Perfect sign for a team like the Tigers. High ceiling guy, who may make a late career push, and can be flipped in July.

Love the Matt Moore signing for the Tigers. Small chance he figures it out and can be flipped for a top 100 prospect come July, but a very big chance he's dog**** and will help in the #TankTrain efforts.

Tigers have a legit shot at the #1 overall pick again in 2020. The only small thing potentially holding us back is playing in a division with the Sox/Royals/Twins. I still think losing 100 is possible this season.

I want absolutely NO ONE with any sort of long term value brought up this season. If you wanna give Funkhouser a few August/September starts, fine. Willi Castro, idc how good he performs this season. He does not see the majors next season.

Three straight picks in the top 5 of the draft, along with our already potent farm system, is going to solidify us for the next decade in the central. We will be ready to roll right when Cleveland is falling off.

This is how I would rank our current top 10 prospects:

1. Matt Manning RHP
2. Isaac Paredes IF (lol cubs)
3. Casey Mize RHP
4. Daz Cameron CF
5. Parker Meadows OF
6. Beau Burrows RHP
7. Franklin Perez RHP
8. Willi Castro SS
9. Alex Faedo RHP
10. Jake Rogers C

Manning & Mize have clear, unquestioned ace potential.

Paredes is one of the best teenage bats to come through the minor leagues in recent years. You just don't do what he did in the FSL as a 19 year old.

The biggest wild card in our farm system is Franklin Perez. A guy who has top of the rotation stuff...also a guy that we really haven't seen pitch yet.

System is super pitching heavy, maybe a top 3 system in baseball as far as arms are concerned. A little light on the bats, but with all the money coming off the books for this team, when the pitching is ready, whatever holes we have on offense we will be able to fill via free agency.

This will be a team built from the ground up, I can't wait to start sweating those reverse standings in the draft pick race.

Someone linked me to Jim Abbott's no-hitter. Did batters not just drop a bunt down every at-bat to not be dicks?

Assuming the Mets actually buy and hold on to their top 3 SPs, they are at the top of the NL.

Which would make NYmets> Yankees.

Who's the 3rd-best Mets pitcher in that scenario?

Matz? Wheeler?

Please.

Syndergaard is obsessed with velo, and even if he comes back, he'll never be the same, and if he comes back, he won't be that good for very long with the Mets' training staff.

All the Todd Fraziers and Curtis Grandersons and Jose Bautistas of the world of free agency can't save that sinking ship

Mets fans and myself are currently freaking out about possibly trading 3 of their top prospects for Cano and Diaz.

I hate them.

Colome to White Sox for Narvaez.

I’m glad to hear Mets fans are tripping over possible Cano trade because us Mariners fans aren’t loving the returns we’ve seen. I’m guessing Alonso is untouchable?

I looked and couldn’t find anything. I saw him quote you and reply but I’m guessing your tweets are deleted now?

Just to tie that multi-tweet from a few days ago in to a nice little bow, Shelby Miller was just non-tendered.

Tigazz non-tender Alex Wilson and James McCann.

Read somewhere that Jonathan Schoop was non-tendered.

good for Seattle if they're serious about blowing it up, just to get out from under that Cano contract gives them a lot of flexibility going forward

Cano hit .303/.374/.471 last year btw, and was worth 3.5 rWAR in 80 games.
