SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

Detroit Tigers’ starting pitcher Jack Flaherty is expected to be traded by next week’s deadline. He signed
a 1-year contract with the Tigers and will become a free agent at the end of this season.
It is believed that he will want to test the open market after 2024 in order to maximize his earning potential. He will be 29 years old soon.
Jack has 2 months left on his contract so he will be a short-term rental. He has also had 2 problems with his back, requiring injections this year. There is a history of having those issues while pitching for another team. All of this will impact his value and return.

So if the Tigers trade him, what would be a fair and reasonable trade? What would you expect to see?
What would be a fair and reasonable return for trading Jack Flaherty?

1. 1 lower-level MLB experienced player who would immediately add depth to the roster.

2. 1 top 10 ranked (of trade team) prospect.

3. 2 top 20 ranked (of trade team) prospects.

Rumor: Astros, Tigers engaged in ‘trade dialogue’ about Jack Flaherty

The Tigers’ primary trade chip may wind up in Houston when the dust settles on this year’s trade deadline. Let’s talk about it.

DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers

In Friday’s blog, we addressed the Detroit Tigers’ crumbling starting rotation. Two pitchers on the IL, 1 demoted to mop-up relief, and 2 who are rumored to be on the trade market.
Jack Flaherty is expected to be traded while the chances for Tarik Skubal are much slimmer.

Given the lack of starting pitching, the Tigers have moved to regular bullpen days. The best options in Toledo are on the IL. But this strategy can’t continue. They must find a solution and re-vamp their starting rotation.
As you consider today’s discussion, here is the expected starting rotation going forward for the Tigers that would run through at least mid-to-late August. We’re taking into account that Flaherty will be traded within days.
Beau Brieske
Kenta Maedo
Keider Montero
Tarik Skubal
TBD

Also for your reference, here is the list of everyone who has pitched for Toledo and their stats this year:
https://www.milb.com/toledo/stats/pitching
A. J. Hinch is on the record stating that they have very few options to call up. He also said that Jackson Jobe is not an option. They want Jobe to advance to AAA.

So what should the Tigers do?
Should they call up pitchers who may not be quite ready in order to give them a taste of the majors?
Or should the Tigers scour the waiver wire for a pitcher or 2 who can fill in for the rest of the year?
Today’s blog addresses this question and allows readers to share their thoughts in more detail. And hopefully, to actively engage with others by responding to their posts and creating back-and-forth discussion threads. The more the merrier!
For this one blog only, you’ve got 6 sentences max to share your thoughts. Of course, you can also respond to other readers.
TT will supply the ammunition. One thought-provoking question. Several options provided. One hard choice to be selected. One vote.
Ready?

What should the Tigers do to supplement their starting rotation?

1. Bring up an untested prospect - "play the young guys".

2. Purchase contract/waiver wire acquisition of a pitcher.

Two things have never changed for the Detroit tigers since 2016. At the trade deadline they always seem unprepared and afraid to make a mistake by asking for way too much, and other organizations always seem to quietly view them as the mark at the table, just by allowing them to wait.

Tampa Bay mints relievers and Detroit can’t develop even one closer, then they deal them and mint more the next cycle. Some teams do major league things, some promise they will in 5 years, then get fired.

Scott Harris do something TB is acquiring Dylan Lesko for a reliever. Take a valium or just turn the reigns over to Greenberg. This inactivity is tantamount to another fucked up trade deadline. Maybe Scott quit and we haven’t been told.
 
Flaherty Foley Vierling to LAD for River Ryan Miguel Vargas.

Got to do some more digging on this.
 
Decisions that define the Harris regime in Detroit so far.
1. Clark over Langford
2. Zero deals of substance in 23 months
3. Zero effort to land Isaac Paredes
4. cut Willie Castro
5. zero core FA signings.

If MLB All-Star Paul Skenes was in the Tigers organization, Scott Harris would have him in Toledo this season - With optimism for a September call-up!

Why is 1 bad? Langford has done nothing special this season. 94 OPS+. As far as Skenes I think most teams would have kept him in the minors for longer.. Its very rare for someone to play as little as him in the minors to then be promoted.
