Agreed - I did not watch the post-game, did he address why Jansen (who was up and warming) didn't enter in the 9th?

No idea. I didn’t watch the post game either. That was really interesting though. He was warming up and everything. I thought for a second it was a situation where he was literally being traded in that moment.

Boy, Jansen just seems shot. Other than that, this is a good team when healthy; will be a shame if we have to say goodbye to Skubal and Mize.

Jansen looks like he is toast. 2 out those outs last night had an exit velocity over 100. They were just ripped right at waiting defenders thankfully. Big series against the Phillies this weekend. Then again with the hole this team dug ever series is a big one. They have such little margin for error at this point. Also, I’m not sure anyone gets traded at the deadline. The league is so weak in general everyone still has a shot at the wild card in the AL. Trading away is essentially telling your fanbase that you are raising the white flag. Now I have read the articles saying the Tigers could still trade Skubal and compete and I don’t disagree with that statement on merit I just have seen nothing from Harris that suggests he can pull off such a move. Also, if you also deal Mize you are absolutely telling your fan base you are conceding the race. Mize has been great. You are not surviving dealing 2/5 th’s of your starting rotation. It is definitely an interesting development to watch though.

No doubt. McKinstry and Tork got this save. Those were two ringing singles. KJ is done; I hope they don't wait for him to be Kenta Maeta - done before shifting his role.
