Tigers 2024-2025 Offseason: Trades, Free Agents, Call ups, Rule 5, tender, non-tender, Awards

Teams have a hard time dumping $25 million players. Platoons aren't so bad but Sweeney, in little time, seems to be able to hit LHP.

Baez projected 2025 numbers: (OFF: Offensive Runs Above Average; DEF Defensive Runs Above Average. Dismal. CI won't part with him, though, IMO.
BA. OBP Slugging wOBA wRC+ OFF. DEF. WAR

I'm not saying I want him. Just saying teams don't like to dump big contracts. Those are facts, it rarely happens. He's under contract until '27 is over so its money.

I'm only pointing out the cost of keeping him. I think that the Tigers would be better off paying him not to play. Or trading him and agreeing to pay some of his salary. Platooning a guy who makes $25,000,000 is an insult to Baez, Sweeney, you, me, Ed Brinkman, Tom Veryzer, Deivi Cruz, Dick McAuliffe, and Ken Szotkiewicz.

Actually I don't think Deivi Cruz would be offended. In reality though its not our money. I wanted them to get rid of lots of guys over the years. They don't seem to listen to me.
