The Cubs are in agreement with lefty Shota Imanaga on a 4 year $53 million deal. After 2 years, the team has the option to extend the contract to $80 million over 5 yrs. If they decline, Imanaga has the option to become a free agent. Same after third year.
The Cubs got an absolute steal. Sh?ta Imanaga was signed with less AAV than Montas, Manaea, and Lugo.

Imanaga is going to be the rock so many teams want.

But hey we got Flaherty for 14 million for a year.

I have no idea what kind of a pitcher he is, but even if he is a #3, that is a hell of a deal. $13M a year for what I understand to be the #6 free agent pitcher on the market.

30 year old with no MLB experience. That's good money and a risk. Not every Japanese pitcher is good.

FIVE FOR FRIDAY.
Totally Tigers

The Detroit Tigers finished the 2023 season in 2nd place. Their best record since 2016. However, they ended up 6 games under .500.

In 2022, they finished in 4th place, 30 games under .500 with 96 losses.

At quick glance, they appear to be performing better and more consistently. There have been some discussions that they could vie for the AL Central title next year given that this division is historically the weakest in MLB.

Outside of that rationale, are there other reasons to believe that the AL Central is theirs for the taking?

I?ve got 5 factors to consider???

Tigers' arbitration filing for Casey Mize is terrible look for organization.
The Detroit Tigers are taking one of their players to arbitration over a measly amount of money.

Will Tigers, Casey Mize go to battle over 25 thousand bucks?

I just wonder why Mize who hasn't pitched in a long time coming off terrible injury thinks he deserves an extra 25k.

I don't think it's a matter of him deserving it. The Tigers offered $815K and he the number he asked for was $840K. I think it's a bad look for the Tigers to send this to arbitration over a measly $25K.

I doubt it will go to arb. Just go $827.5.

SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

Yesterday, this blog presented an argument that supports the viability of the Tigers? increased chances of taking the AL Central next year. However, that argument had nothing to with the roster.

It was based upon the factors impacting the other 4 teams in the division. If you haven?t had the chance to read it ? or need to review ? here it is:

FIVE FOR FRIDAY

Given the Tigers? finish last year, the roster improvements for the coming season and the factors outlined in yesterday?s blog, what do you believe the chances are for the Tigers to win the AL Central in 2024?

How likely would it be that the Tigers can win the AL Central title next year?

1. Solid.

2. Somewhat favorable.

3. Still a tossup.

4. Have my doubts.

Sports books have the Twins (-120) as the favorites, with the Tigers (+350) and Indians (+400) right behind the Twins. The Royals and Sox are long shots. I would say that's fair. In this poll, I would say a tossup to have my doubts.
