I hope the two that make it are Mize and Maeda.
 
Scott Boras is doing his best to create a bidding war and make the Tigers and Red Sox nervous. It's reported that the Tigers are in agreement on the dollars but not the length of the contract.

I think the Tigers are bidding against themselves. I don't think any other team is willing to give him even what Houston offered. I have also heard people say that they don't think Bregman wants to come to Detroit...that he is holding it up trying to get different teams involved.

There are smoke screens from the agents, players, front offices, and the media from each team, and those national writers. We either get him or we don't. I'm wondering what they plan to do in a couple of years with Skubal, and then a year or two later with Greene? It will tell a lot about the team's direction and if they are going to be another rays/indians type team by developing young talent and then trading before they have to sign to long term contracts.

I think they can keep Greene. I am a little surprised that they haven't tried to get him to sign a long term contract like they did with Keith. I don't think he becomes a free agent until 2029. I don't see any way that they can sign Skubal if he hits free agency.
 
SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Detroit Tigers just participated in the International Draft and selected 6 players. This is the first year that Detroit has seriously involved itself in signing international players after brooming and rebuilding the departments involved. The new program is overseen by Rob Metzler who came from the Tampa Bay Rays.
They signed Cris Rodriguez who is the #4 international prospect as well as another player hitting the top 100 prospect list.
Rodriguez will turn 17 in a couple weeks. It could be at least 4 years before he would make his debut in Detroit.
The Tigers have completely rebuilt their player development program and are turning out some impressive talent. Their farm system continues to maintain a top ranking from #1 to #3 depending upon the group doing the evaluation.
However, the international players signed are so very young and the wait for them to develop is longer than the regular MLB Draft. During their minor league time, so many things about them can change.

How do you feel about the new players coming into the Tigers’ system?
How do you feel about the Tigers' International Draft results?

1. Excited about the future w/Rodriguez and Jose Ramirez (#54 ranked).

2. Wake me when they hit AA.

3. Not thrilled with the International Draft.
