So I miss the game and go to Yahoo Sports and it says KC won 2-1 on two ninth inning runs, yet we won? So we won?

There's no reason to still have Maeda on the roster

Unfortunately there are $12,000,000 dollars worth of reasons.

Unlike Gores, Chris will probably not cut him. Hopefully he will soon.

With Foley on the DL at Toledo and Maeda a complete zero. Bo Breske on the 15 day dL. I wonder if Hanifee will be recalled ? Or maybe Chafin ? What will happen with Montero ? I wonder if he could be used in the pen. He does have strikeout stuff. I hope Brebbia pitches better his next outing

I know right. I'm just glad we won and I thought I got confused. I woke from a nap at 7 but I thought it was 7AM. Then I see Yahoo Sports and was bummed for a moment before coming here.

Riley Greene finally broke his hitless streak after 5 games this week. Previously, he was 1-for-32 with 18 strikeouts. During this time, he led all of MLB in strikeouts.
Greene has a reputation as a very streaky hitter, going on prolonged hitting streaks and then equally long droughts.
Riley is making just over MLB minimum and after the 2025 season, he’s arbitration eligible. After 2028, he’s a free agent at age 27.

Greene also has an injury history. Three to his legs/foot in 2 years. (The broken foot was due to a foul ball hit off it.) The Tigers are mindful of his leg issues and are trying to limit how much he runs in the outfield.
Given all of this, Riley is an exciting player and fun to watch.
But should the Tigers offer him a contract extension?

Should the Tigers extend Riley Greene's contract?

1. Yes, extend him.

2. Maybe. Let's see how the next 2 years play out.

3. No, do not extend.

I voted 2. What's the hurry? He isn't a FA until after the 2028 season, so he will be a Tiger for 4 more years (including this year)
