Assuming your question presumes an LF opening because of Pages in CF and Edman at 2B, I don't think so. Kim/Call is a perfectly fine 2B/LF platoon and they'll want to work Rojas/maybe Freeland into the infield mix, too. So having another everyday OF-only would worsen that flexibility, for sure.

If you were The Tigers, what would you do with Skubal? Go “all in” for 1 shot this year with knowing he is likely gone in 2026? Trade him for a haul of prospects? I’ll admit I don’t get why they would want Glasnow, which is rumored. He’s never stsarted more than 22 games. He makes $10+M more than Skubal this year & his contract doesn’t align with getting a bunch of prospects for 2-4 years down the road.

I'd be tempted if I could get a haul from a team like the Dodgers, who have the best mix of MLB-ready young players and elite prospects. HOWEVER, they already have a very good team with solid depth, and a lot of help on the way. And they really should have the resources to add 2 more impact players to the current roster.

If healthy, a pitcher like Skubal can almost single-handedly carry a team thru the playoffs when (as we all witness every post-season) all pitching staffs have been decimated. No Skubal and their chances of winning a championship likely go down quite a bit. Partly because his new team's chances will have increased so much.

Who's trade value has decreased more - Jasson Dominguez or Dalton Rushing? Both have the high pedigree and struggled mightily to the point that neither were playing in October, and look to be at least somewhat blocked.

I think Dominguez's has. He still has five years of club control left but just had a large sample of being barely above replacement level while being awful from the right side of the plate and in the field. Rushing was worse on a rate basis but graded out as slightly below average behind the plate so it wouldn't take a lot to make him useful back there, and considering how few good catchers there are, he's got a lot of value still.

I really, really doubt that Edman gets OF reps this year, at least not to begin with. He just had ankle surgery, is in a boot/walker. Just had an interview where he was asked if he'd be ready for Spring Training and he said "we'll see...." so idk.

This is another situation where I'm just kind of waiting for the expected roster addition. So showing Edman in CF has more to do with Hyeseong Kim at 2B rather than Ryan Ward/Alex Call in LF. But I'll take a closer look at the situation. If it sounds like Edman's time in the OF will decrease by a lot, I might change it up.
That will do it for today. Thanks for joining us! We'll be back next Thursday. Have a great weekend.
