Detroit Tigers Ongoing 2018 Thread

According to the Detroit News Mike Gerber ... apparently they are worried about defense. Gerber is hitting .214 with 94 K's.

He's a better hitter than that. I mean, he should be.


He's a damn good outfielder. Jones, Gerber, Reyes isn't going to scare opposing pitching much for sure.

Sounds like Fiers is traded to the A's. Haven't heard the return yet.

Or not apparently. A's didn't want to pay him next season...tight asses.

The A's no longer even sell season tickets.


Those losers haven't won a playoff series since the series before we swept them in 06.


Billy is a genius though....

Guess the A's don't want to make a run at a WC. Jeez, it's not like Fiers is overpaid.

Roger Clemens pitched BP to some of the Whitecaps yesterday.

We're gonna run away with second place.

We're gonna run away with second place.

Wish we were in your division.

Better off in the International League tbh. Lol



We have the Twins and WS for like a third of the remaining season.

Yeah, Twins were expecting to contend, and instead they became sellers. Not a good team at all now.

3/4 of the worst teams in baseball are in our division now imo.


We still have a shot at 5th though.

Yep, and possibly cash...kind of a weird trade for a player that is under club control for another year, and relatively cheap.

Hard to say if it's a good trade or not until you find who the players are how much (and what kind) of money.

Tigers' Jose Iglesias, Francisco Liriano clear waivers. What's next?
