The Tigers have agreed to terms with RHP Jake Thompson on a Minor League contract. He has been assigned to Single A Lakeland.
Remember this day well. Congrats @willya02! nitter.cf/tigersprospects/status…
Willy Adames has some bat speed. Probably in the GCL this year, but keep an eye out. He's tooled up.

Given injury rates with pitchers as a whole, I’m of the mindset that I’d rather have them learn at the major league level if they’re close to ready. In this case, it’s a low pressure environment and odds are that service time doesn’t end up mattering for them in the long run. nitter.cf/sabrcats/status/983476…
Replying to @TigersProspects
Maybe to give young guys more time developing? What’s your take on a young guy, in this case a pitcher, playing too soon in the Show?

Can someone explain to me the point of Francisco Liriano or Mike Fiers? If they do well, you win more games when the team is tanking. If they perform poorly, they’re blocking a spot from a young guy who, in theory, would contribute when the team is good again.

So is the rest of the AL Central nitter.cf/anthonyfenech/status/9…
Over the weekend, Tigers chairman and CEO Christopher Ilitch said he's 'thrilled' with general manager Al Avila's work: on.freep.com/2FgNMg2

Just watched Eugenio Suarez fly out to Hernan Perez on a Corey Knebel 98 MPH fastball. Oops on all three

^^^^ clearly looked hurt all year. Hopefully the best Tigers hitter of all time is healthy for next season.

It's really hard to get more athletic if you don't acquire more athletic players

I have a target audience for this tweet and it overlaps perfectly with anyone watching this terrible team at 10:00 PM on a Friday

Has anyone ever seen Bruce Rondon and Franklyn German in the same room?

Could also keep him until next trade deadline. If he's pitching well, only 40MM left at that point. Have to get max value in terms of talent

I've reevaluated, and am team Keep Verlander. He's at the nadir of his value & with 10 good starts to end the year, could get more in winter

First Tigers game in person all year tonight. This team is unwatchable. Anyway, we're really all pretending Cabrera isn't hurt?

Hard to imagine Verlander in another uniform. Would look weird. Top 2 P in Tigers history. Hope he ends up with a ring elsewhere if so

Dbacks are sending prospects Dawel Lugo, Sergio Alcantara and Jose King to the Tigers in exchange for J.D. Martinez.

Tigers path to contention is muddy & they missed out on a TV deal when they had extremely high local viewership and 3MM attendance. Bad luck

Missed the boat in the last CBA by not overspending on one IFA period & paying tax like every other smart team. Can just trade for cap now
