THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers
The Saturday Survey offers the opportunity to weigh in on a relevant topic.
So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our passionate readers.
Today, we center the discussion on what the Tigers did at the trade deadline.
As always, we welcome your comments, so please vote and then submit your reasons (4 sentences max!) for how you voted in the usual comment box. Don?t forget to come back later and view the results!
The July trade deadline has come and gone. The Detroit Tigers traded 1 player, Daniel Norris, for a pitching prospect. Norris would have been a free agent at the end of the year.
Jonathan Schoop was widely rumored as a top trade candidate. He will be a free agent as well and recently hired Scott Boras for what we all know is an attempt to receive a multi-year, top dollar contract. If the Tigers don?t offer him a 1-year qualifying offer of $18.9 million, he will walk in 2 months while the Tigers get nothing in return.
The reliever market was very hot, however there were no offers for any Tigers although there was some interest from 2 teams in acquiring Michael Fulmer.
On top of all this, a national report came out earlier this week dissecting Al Avila?s skill as a trade negotiator. Out of his 10 deadline trades since taking over the GM role, only 1 was deemed to be successful based upon stats.
How do you feel about what the Tigers did ? or didn?t do about the trade deadline? Given what you know, are you happy that there was only 1 trade ? or should they have done more or less?
