I think at this point in his career, Miguel Cabrera needs to become a full time DH.

Santana gives the Tigers the ability to either platoon him and Cabrera at 1B/ DH or Santana can play 1B full time if needed.

3.) 23 Nov 2018

Santana should also be a DH.

Pretty far off on that padres trade.

You’re right gpack, it would cost San Diego quite a bit more to land Fulmer.

6.) 26 Nov 2018

Ya, you're right, the padres are in such a desperate situation that they need to trade a package near the range that they would offer for syndergaard for a guy who was 3-12 last year with a just under 5 era.

7.) 26 Nov 2018

If you think that package is close to what they'd get for Syndergaard, you're nonsensical.

Syndergaard is going to cost the Padres Tatis plus 2-3 others.

All of the guys moving for Fulmer are super high risk, and the Tigers have no reason to take them on.
