MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

Tigers acquire OF Meadows in trade with Rays

This will jumble up the batting order and create something of a logjam when Greene returns. This gives them 3 guys in a row -- Baez, Candelario and now Meadows -- who have consistently hit 20-25 HRs over the last 2-3 years, and that's not even counting Cabrera or Torkelson, yet.

It also provides some extra incentive to buy out Cabrera if he's not hitting at least league average after a month or so.

 

Austin Meadows, fungible.

 

Two years ago Meadows was the Rays’ next big thing
Now he’s a Tiger
One reason the Rays have trouble drawing fans is they trade everybody once they get expensive
BTW, younger brother Parker is a Tigers minor leaguer

 

Well, he's the guy who replaced Vin Freakin' Scully in the Dodgers' booth and apparently didn't get waylaid in any backlash, so he's got that going for him.

 

Joe Davis is really, really, really good.

 

Somewhere in suburban Cincinnati Thom Brenneman screamed at his ceiling again.
