2022 Trade Deadline
- Thread starter Enscheff
- Start date
Unfortunately whoever told you "there are no stupid questions" lied.
The tigers have proven very adept at holding pitchers too long on non contending rosters and tanking their trade value.
If you want an example of a poor FO, look there

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
How about Owen Murphy, JR Ritchie, Cole Phillips, and Adam Maier?
Seems unreasonable to me. Soto already has 2.5 years of control, so why trade him for anyone with less than 6 years of control? The Nats should be targeting the best impact prospect they can get, plus 2-3 other Top 100 guys, plus even more. They should be turning Soto into the next core for 2025-2030, not guys who can contribute to losing seasons in 2023/2024.
I’m looking forward to the Nats screwing up this trade and setting their rebuild back 5 years.

This is definitely a troll account... created in July 2022 with 6 followers.
Wonder if Grossman should be added to Alex' potential trade list - switch hitter that can handle both corners and pure rental having a tough year, and the Tigers would probably love to get anything for him to save a little money at this point.
Sounds familiar, no?
Adding him and Fulmer probably wouldn't hurt much.

Grossman has been pretty gross this year
He has - just as Soler, Joc, and Duvall were last summer before Alex traded for them.
If he can get Grossman and Fulmer for the same types of prospects he hit the lottery with last year, he doesn't lose anything if he tries to catch lightning in a bottle again.

Duvall wasn't
Don't know about joc
Soler had an enormous gap between wOBA and xwoba when he was acquired
Grossman doesn't look to be unlucky according to stats
You're missing the point.
The Tigers are the type of team that would probably take somebody like Jenista who has options just to get Grossman's money off their books. He's not going to be added to the Braves' 40-Man this winter, so he's probably not going to be in the organization anyway. He fits the same mold Jackson did when he was shipped off for Duvall - somebody that wasn't going to be kept.
Jenista and Davidson probably gets you Grossman and Fulmer - how the *ell do you lose if that's what it takes? If Grossman doesn't snap out of it, you DFA him or leave him off the playoff roster.
I'd love to see us get Ian Happ and Tyler Mahle. Yeah, I'd like to get more elite players if we can but I'm trying to be realistic. With Strider's possible shakiness as a starter and Ian having a rough go I think we need to get another starter. Perhaps Muller is ready?

I have no problem with throwing junk for him. If he's the only addition though, we need need him to be good. Are his splits good? I didn't look at that
Happ probably "should" be the main target, but the asking prices on him and Mahle are probably higher than Alex will want to pay.
It's a gamble, sure, but with Fried, Morton, and Wright locked in for the first three games of any series it's probably a safer gamble that you can get Strider through a lineup twice in a game four than it is that you're going to get production from LF with the current roster. Count me in the camp with those looking to upgrade LF over anything else.
Assuming Grissom is off-limits in talks, I'm not sure Alex has the pieces to get guys like Happ and Mahle - especially since they're controlled beyond this season.
