Looking forward to seeing the list of what prospects we have to add to the 40 man to be protected from Rule 5. I assume a few guys may get removed as well due to the process.
I guess I've made out at least ten different potenual Tigers 2025 rosters with potential trades and free agent signings already I've come to a few conclusions. I'd really like to sign either Flaherty or Kikuchi...or both. I want Bregman because even if he doesn't have a Crawford Box to shoot at in Comerica, he's still young enough to give you four or five 25HR seasons and that would be good enough for three or four Detroit pennants with the talent Harris is going to surround him with. At 1B, it is time to trade Tork. Nobody ever talks about this with Spencer, but have you ever noticed how many first-pitch MEATBALLS he takes right down the middle? Before Tork knows it, he's in an 0-2 hole at the plate with one toe pointed back to the dugout. Let's trade him to Tampa and let the Rays hire a psychologist for him. Maybe Yandy Diaz would never hit more than 15 HRs in a season, but he's Scott Harris' type of player with the following average stats over the last three years: .311/ .380/. 455/ 33 2B/ 15 HR/ 67 RBI/ 64BB/ 83K.He probably would fit in as either a #2 or 6 or 7 type of hitter. Not everyone has to hit 30 homers. I'd rather have Yandy be dandy and shoot for .300 and make plate contact than have Tork do a takeoff on that famous movie. You know: ...GONE WITH THE WIND.

How about Payton Graham? He still has not hit since Tigers drafted him in second round. Even in AFL he is struggling.
Sorry, needed to listen to podcast longer, you guys did discuss Payton.
