[Petzold] Javier Báez, Trey Sweeney shortstop platoon for #Tigers ‘makes sense on whiteboard’. “We’ll see how they perform and how they respond,” Scott Harris said. “First, we have to get Javy healthy for that to even be a possibility.”

I, for one, am ecstatic for ANOTHER season of Javy and his negative WAR.
Scott Harris cookin. 2025 hype confirmed.
I mean, it makes sense to see how he plays after surgery but I’m not expecting much.
It was fun while it lasted lads.
$25 million platoon player 👍
Yes, Baez is great in theory, but this isn’t theory Scott
CUT HIM A CHECK SEE YA, cheap ass mf’s
man where all the fans who told me I wasn’t allowed to gripe with not signing Chapman bc it was too early and that we’d spend when the time was right? Tell me how it’s not right after an 87 win season with a team almost entirely comprised of non-vet contracts
Chris I is seriously holding back not one but two teams from seriously competing for titles!! Fuck him
All the talk from so far this off season is so disheartening.
This team is clearly on the cusp of contention. We need a mid order right handed bat, we need another starter, and we need to extend skubal.
And all we’ve heard so far is low ball to skubal, only interested in short term contacts, and we’re gonna let Javy back into the lineup even though he was the worst player in the league last year.
I won’t be spending any money at Comerica if that’s what happens
Copium but the FO has been extremely private with their plans since Harris took over.
If this regime doesn’t invest in the ready after the season they just had, they never will.
Platoon him right into the sun
I’ve not had many qualms about Scott Harris, but every time he talks I want to stab a pencil in my ear. Guy is one walking kill joy.
Not shocking at all. Only place I can see us doing anything is 3B, the rotation, and maybe 1B. But something tells me they’ll give Tork one more year. I also have no clue what you do with Vierling if you get 3B locked down. Does he platoon with Carp or is he just a super utility guy? Trade piece? Same could be said for Wenceel if Vierling takes his spot.
I was seriously considering season tickets for the first time. The offseason chatter has really soured me
