buyers or sellers?

[tigermud]

will be a huge mistake if they don't get something in return for Price, Ceps and others now, worst of both worlds tigers do nothing continue to flounder in the wind and the franchise suffers a return trip to the basement for years to come. uggggg

 

[stonecold2136]

If Price is traded, maybe the Tigers are scared fans will stop showing up to the games this year.

Or

DD is gonna go out with his guys and not set up a good situation for the next GM that comes in.

DD going to leave the franchise in shambles, rumors are Toronto and CA are interested in his services if he doesn't come back here. My guess is he is not renewed and either retires or ends up in Toronto or California and he should at least not leave the franchise in complete shambles IMO but whatever, hey make sure you take Brad with you DD

If DD buys or stands pat at the deadline he is dooming this franchise for several years. To lose Price, Cespedas, Davis, Soria, and Avila this off with nothing in return will really put us in a hole. At least get some prospects to rebuild the farm system.

Could not agree more. I will be pissed if they stand pat and will be extremely pissed if they buy. It's sick but there is a part of me hoping we get swept by Tampa, that may hopefully put the nail in the coffin.

Detroit Tigers giving ownership, front office no reason to be buyers at deadline

"Somebody is going to get hot. The Tigers have shown no signs of being capable of doing so."

 

[Mitchrapp]

Just be real here. They won't do a thing and if DD is set to leave I don't see any motivation for him to want to do anything.

Total dick move, but I can actually see him doing it.

Let's be clear on a couple of things:

1. Cepedes cannot be given a qualifying offer. If the Tigers do not resign him before 5 days after the World Series, they cannot talk to him until May 15th. So really, you either trade him in the next 3 days or you sign him to an extension. Anything other than this is stupid. Some would argue trading him is stupid. While others will cite resigning him is stupid.

2. Price can be given a Qualifying Offer, but only by the Tigers. If he is traded, the new team is in the same boat as what the Tigers are with Cespedes. If a team trades for him, they already have a contract extension with him, or they truly only want him for 1/3 of year, in which case his trade value isn't what some of you think.

3. These rules will also effect Davis, Avila, etc, etc. Or, it will effect any pending Free Agents DET gets if in fact they are buyers.

 

[gotime909]

These next couple days are going to agonizing for us fans lol

 

[gotime909]

The fact that the deadline is approaching fast and we are on the ropes and just played our worst overall game of the season last night tells me everything about this team.

Let's sell anything we can and FAST!!!

I suspect teams would want Price to try and win a WS. Like SF.

 

[Mitchrapp]

The problem I see is DD/Tigers' haven't even said anyone is available. Need time to work on trades..they need to make him available like yesterday.

Deals can happen in a flash. That Cueto deal seemed to get done without any knowledge being leaked. My hope is that DD is just being quiet about his talks.

Number 3 is one of the real reasons it's going to get real ugly in Detroit. That and no farm replacements.

Surprised Soria 's name isn't mentioned more

Fister trade ring a bell? We got a sack of marbles in that deal. Let's hope he's open about guys being available so they get some options to choose from rather than taking the first polished turd offered up.

well...sadly Robbie Ray is doing pretty decent this year for another team.

I doubt that SF is in the mix. The young players they'd have to give up are too valuable to them. IMO.

Cain, Peavy, Bumgarner, Hudson and Heston. Only Hudson is a FA after this year. In addition, they also have Ryan Vogelsong who has started and can start. While Price would be an upgrade, I am not sure the value is there. They actually would benefit more from Cespedes and their need for an OFer.
