Tigers 2021-2022 Free Agents Trades Rule 5 Arbitration Moves

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.

Today, another chance for readers to have increased opportunities to discuss the hottest topics in a forum where thoughtful conversations and a variety of opinions are welcomed.

Let?s create some running conversation threads with not just comments but replies to others. And for those of you still going into offices, here?s a question to take with you ? or use via Zoom calls ? as you talk to your co-workers.

Here is today?s hot topic. For this blog only, a maximum of 10 sentences please.

The Tigers signed free agent Eduardo Rodriguez this week to be part of their starting rotation. He will join Matt Manning, Casey Mize, Tarik Skuball and TBD on the mound.

For the Red Sox, ERod was named Opening Day starter and also the first to pitch in the playoffs. He had the team?s best record on the starting rotation.

He will automatically slot into the #1 position with the Tigers.

But will he stay there after the 2022 season?

If the Tigers have a great season, will that change their plans for 2023 with the need to add a bigger star pitcher?

Or will Manning, Mize or Skuball jump to the top of the heap as they further develop?

Or will Rodriguez maintain his status as top dog by pitching even more effectively given that he?s moving from one of MLB?s most hitter-friendly parks to one that is very pitcher-friendly?

What do you think?

Choose from the 2 options below. To make it challenging, there?s no fence-sitting on this one!

And as always, feel free to explain your rationale in the comments section.

Will Eduardo Rodriguez keep his #1 slot in the rotation in 2023?

1. Yes, he'll stay in the top slot.

2. No, the Tigers will replace him with someone stronger.

People you have no SS.. the worst CF defense in baseball.. 3.5 good SP..but you wanna spend 25M a year on a 39 year old coming off TJ.. WTF is a matter with you people?

BTW while you ignore Jon Heyman? ignore unamed sources and Carlos Correa signing ideas too.. man you people are thirsty.

Dear baseball twitter stop repeat stop listening to anything Jon Heyman the human billboard tweets.

Jon Heyman:
One interesting possibility heard: Could Justin Verlander return to the Tigers? He loved it there, and he obviously has a link to AJ Hinch, too. Detroit is still shopping.

Listen you dumb walking billboard .. DET isnt paying a 39 year old off TJ a ton of money that?s the LAA job.

Everyone's favorite MGorosh



Former Detroit Tiger Justin Verlander has until today to accept or decline Houston's QO. It is expected that he will turn it down for a multi-year deal worth more money. But it is expected that he will make a decision this week.....

The Yankees are said to have the inside edge. JV did his showcase at the Eric Cressey Sports Performance Center. Cressey is the Dir. of Player Health and Performance for the Yankees. Rumors say he wants to reunite with former teammate Gerritt Cole.

Playing for the Yankees would give him continual access to Cressey who is one of the tops in the game. Especially important for JV who will be 39 soon and wants to pitch until he's 45.

BACK TO THE FUTURE ? PART FOUR.
Totally Tigers

Today, let?s conclude the discussion that helps explain the Tigers? rebuild and sheds more light about what may be expected down the road.

We want to know exactly how all of this is going to play out. We want to know about the team?s priorities, timeline and when that championship roster will finally be completed.

We want to know when the Tigers will be contending again.

We wonder why it took so long to finally hire a competent manager who could effectively harness the talent he was given. And why it has taken so long to start saying ?buh-bye? to members of the decades-old clique.

In Parts One and Two, we started to get some logical explanations. I wrote about the need to go back in time and analyze the ownership under both Mike Ilitch and his son, Chris.

In Part Three, we looked at Dave Dombrowski?s legacy and the early years of Al Avila?s reign as his successor.

If you didn?t read them ? or need to review the issues ? here they are again because it?s important to know both owners and their GMs in order to help us understand why the present and future are playing out in the manner that they are.

FIVE FOR FRIDAY.

Two pitchers familiar to the Tigers were signed this week. Of course, Eduardo Rodriguez, who is coming to Detroit. And then, the familiar face who used to pitch for this team. JV.

So now, it?s official. It?s ?no see JV.?

And the Verlander signing is the topic for this week because it does shed some light on one of the fans? favorites as well as the Tigers? strategy.

Here are my 5 biggest thoughts on JV staying in Houston???
 
Or Hinch: "Carlos, come to Detroit. You eventually won't hit while you have many years left making tons of cash and people will bitch".
 
Seriously guys I have never liked the real long contracts and or extensions for that reason.

You have to know as a GM that a player is going to lose his abilities as he get into his mid to late 30's and for bigger players in weight, it will usually happen early to mid 30's. 5 years is a good maximum or never more than 6 for a position player. Pitchers 4 to 5 tops.
