This time of the year always reminds me when we needed a SP after trading Porcello, so we traded for SP Simon (who had one bad year in Detroit) for then rookie and not so good Eugenio Suarez. Who is now thriving in Cincinnati - 49 homers, sheesh.

 

[Mitchrapp]

This is their plan..

"This year?s Tigers are in a much different position, coming off a 114-loss season that ranks as second-worst in the club?s 119-year history. But unlike the last couple of years, general manager Al Avila will walk into the lobby looking to buy more than sell.

Mind you, the Tigers won?t be shopping the top shelves, not yet anyway. For the most part, they?re looking for stopgap signings that fill spots until the prospects they?ve stockpiled over the last few years begin to take over later this season and next."

So basically more Brandon Dixon type guys.

And why do they thing we're loaded in the MiL?

I?ll be shocked if the Tigers finish with less than 100 losses in 2020, and probably 2021 too.

Tigers? Ronny Rodriguez claimed on waivers by Brewers.
Mlive

The Brewers announced that they claimed infielder Ronny Rodriguez from the Tigers. The 27-year-old has struggled in two seasons with the Detroit organization, showing some power and defensive versatility but demonstrating some of the worst on-base skills in the league. Through an even 500 plate appearances at the MLB level, Rodriguez is a .221/.254/.396 batting line. He still has multiple option years remaining, so he can be shuttled between Triple-A and the Majors in both 2020 and 2021.

Also departing the Tigers is right-hander Marcos Diplan, who was claimed by the Orioles, per a team announcement. He appeared in 38 games between the Double-A affiliates for the Twins and Brewers, totaling 68 2/3 innings of 4.85 ERA ball with 9.6 K/9 against 5.8 BB/9. Diplan was ranked among the Brewers? 10 to 20 best prospects back in 2017 but has seen his stock dip in recent seasons as he?s begun to bounce around the waiver circuit. Notably, Diplan was has now been claimed by the Tigers and Orioles this winter ? the teams with the No. 1 and No. 2 waiver priorities. He has a minor league option remaining.
