2017 Trade Deadline

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
@PIP killing it in this section per usual

This is awesome news, though

This gives us left and right power assuming EE and Bruce can get out of their slumps. Well needed run producer for nothing is a big lift to this team. If healthy this gives us one legit 40 HR and one Hopeful 30 HR potential bats in out line up.
 
Joe Smith and now Jay Bruce very good dealline so far. I never judge it the waiver wire is done. I assume now we are done.

Do you not remember Bip Roberts ??

No I forgot about him till you brought up that name lol. Lets bring Lofton and him back to finalize this trade season, because why not.
 
Seriously tho watch Bruce come in for 4 million dollars the last 8 weeks of the season and destroy EE's production for the entire year...
 
Justin Verlander cleared waivers.

If Tigers offer to pay some of his salary, do we consider making an offer?

I would be tempted to have him on this rotation. Especially as insurance if Salazar goes down again or whoever goes down. This staff hasn't proven to be healthy, honestly.

I know it's unlikely because of the money and the fact Detroit is a rival in our division, but man I would keep going all in and make a move for him if it makes sense.

I think EE is still pressing and maybe another legit power bat will help him relax. I think you are right though as sad as it is. However if only EE can get and stay going I will be okay that that no matter how much Bruce crushes it hopefully.

The Indians if I read correctly have 37 homers from their outfield this year ?? Bruce has 29.

Really like the move..

I am not sure and I heard before but the Tigers and Indians are not the best partners so if they can come to something and Dolan wants to fork over more cash why not. However chances are very very slim we add Verlander. Personally the Indians won't do it but some fans really want Kinsler more than Verlander however these might be the casual fans I heard on some radio show about the Indians came on I was playing in the background today so I overheard all this fan calls.
