Yeah just looking for depth starter production like he gave SF last year. But there is a lot the younger guys can learn from him, plus he knows Framber, which might ease that transition too.

As expected the correlating move to Framber and JV was Reese Olson missing the season for shoulder surgery. Too bad. Hope this finally sorts the issue for good. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...
Reese Olson out for the 2026 season after shoulder surgery
A tough but foreseeable blow for the young right-hander, who underwent shoulder surgery on February 2.

Cannot believe it. Reese Olson must be jacked up, which sucks, but this is kind of amazing.

Valdez should benefit from Dingler, and maybe from the park a little. Gives that back with worse infield defense behind him though. Should do as well as in HOU. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...
Framber Valdez should thrive with the Detroit Tigers
Valdez will enjoy better catching and a friendlier home park in Detroit, but infield defense will take a minor hit.

Well look at that. The Tigers signed the best starting pitcher available this offseason. This puts their rotation at the top of the league. Let's go! www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Yeah and I'm doubtful Max or especially JV would want to risk that being the coda to their career. Coming home, maybe struggling and getting booed. I can see why neither party seems that interested.

Michael Kopech's health is a question mark but he's a low risk addition to the pen with plenty of upside. Would be fun to take a flier on him and see what Fetter/Lund can do. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...
Michael Kopech remains one of MLB’s ultimate fixer uppers
While the Tigers consider their rotation, a flier on reliever Michael Kopech could give the most bang for their buck.

Sure but I would never try to get an answer directly from it in the first place. For finding links to references it's way better than it used to be.

The Tigers made $30M on a $155M payroll and $320M in revenue last year per Forbes. Of course, the Tigers aren't publicly held, so who knows. But that would suggest a $185-190M payroll is the break even range as we've projected. www.forbes.com/mlb-valuatio...

I've repeatedly said I don't really understand why there wasn't more interest in Tucker longer term. This article attempts to get at it, and I buy the bat speed point most, but the others just don't seem very convincing to me? idk
Why Kyle Tucker didn’t get the long-term contract many expected
Tucker got paid, but he didn't get as many years in his deal as many predicted he'd receive at the start of the offseason.

Tarik Skubal’s arbitration story has quickly become a proxy for everything we don’t like about sports
Reporting by the Free Press indicates that the Tigers made an offer to Skubal that guaranteed an arbitration fight.
