DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers

Detroit Tiger fans are getting impatient – and let’s face it – and a little nuts as they await word on a potential free agent signing or two.
So far, they’ve added both Gleyber Torres and Alex Cobb each to 1-year contracts. Necessary moves but nothing that will get the fan base excited.
With less than 5 weeks until spring training, the Hot Stove season should be in the process of winding down.
But it appears the Tigers are just winding up. After reports about their pursuit of Alex Bregman, Detroit has now recently been rumored to be in negotiations over Nolan Arenado, Jack Flaherty and Anthony Santander.
It’s been written that Scott Harris is refusing to exceed certain limits (especially contract years) in his negotiations. However, the Tigers still remain serious contenders for at least 1 of these players.
The previous GM had a reputation of being one of the first (if not the very first) to start signing significant free agents shortly after the end of the World Series. In all cases, overpaying and giving contract control to the player.
So how do you feel about Scott Harris’ method of extended negotiations? Does it make you overly impatient as you wait to hear any news?
Or do you think it’s a sound business move that will help the organization avoid overpaying and long-term mistakes while allowing them to get the best deal possible?
Today’s blog addresses this question and allows readers to share their thoughts in more detail. And hopefully, to actively engage with others by responding to their posts and creating back-and-forth discussion threads. The more the merrier!
For this one blog only, you’ve got 6 sentences max to share your thoughts. Of course, you can also respond to other readers.
TT will supply the ammunition. One thought-provoking question. Several options provided. One hard choice to be selected. One vote.
Ready?

What do you think of Scott Harris' extended negotiation style?

1. Whatever it takes to get the right player at the right price.

2. The wait and anxiety is driving me nuts.

MONDAY MUSINGS.
Totally Tigers

Today, it’s about quick hits – but with a twist. Instead of reporting on the bits of news that catch my radar during the week, at this particular time, I have questions instead.
This is what happens during this off-season. Trying to make sense of the direction the Tigers are headed and what their strategies might be.
The more I read about what they are doing – or what baseball experts believe they are doing – the more questions I keep asking myself as I look for clues in reports that tell me what’s really going on.
So what are the questions I keep asking? I’ve got a top 10 list.
 

Days of Roar Tigers Podcast: Detroit Tigers' Matt Vierling joins Days of Roar. 60 minutes.

This episode of "Days of Roar" features two special guests: Detroit Tigers third baseman/outfielder Matt Vierling and Baseball America prospect insider Ben Badler. To start the show, Evan and Mark discuss Tigers legend Justin Verlander signing a one-year, $15 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. Interestingly, this is the same deal — in terms of years and money — that Alex Cobb secured from the Tigers. Should the Tigers have signed Verlander instead of Cobb? The answer depends on balancing business and baseball considerations. Ben Badler provides insight into 16-year-old Dominican outfielder Cris Rodriguez, who is signing with the Tigers as part of the international signing period. Rodriguez is the highest-ranked international prospect the Tigers have ever signed, at No. 4 on Baseball America's list. Meanwhile, Matt Vierling dives into a variety of topics, including team culture, personal leadership, developing pull-side power as a hitter, game planning for pitchers, and even his 2012 Ford Escape. To finish the show, Evan and Mark revisit the chances of Tarik Skubal signing a long-term extension after agreeing to a $10.15 million salary in his second of three arbitration-eligible years before free agency.
