Jackson Holliday to the Tigers? Dan O’Dowd previews MLB Trade Deadline | Foul Territory

As a Tigers lifer, it makes me sick to think about trading Skubal. All we’ve heard from the front office (then Avila, now Harris) is that Chris Illitch is willing to spend. But they never do. The Tigers have developed a great pitching staff from within and they’re being wasted with Tier 2 and 3 signings positionally. If you trade Skubal you’re telling your players that they have no intention of winning anytime soon. This has already been an 8 year rebuild. Infuriating.

Dan nailed it! When he said you guys are killing it. Easiest the best podcast baseball. Love the way you guys do separate uploads for pieces of the long podcast You also nailed it when you said many GM’s are playing fantasy baseball and don’t regard to chemistry… How true! I’m hoping Farhan of the Giants sees this video. Nice work!

So the Padres got Dylan Cease, a much more proven and durable starter with 2 years of control for the #85 prospect in baseball and a couple throw ins, but the O's would have to give up 2 top 25 prospects in baseball for 2 years of Crochet? That makes zero sense. lol

The GM is the General! If your General is too afraid to lose men, you lose the battle & lose the war! The O’s should give prospects for proven MLB players & a guy like Skubal, who is not a rental & can be a bull dog in the playoffs, that’s how a team win a World Series! That’s the goal! No awards for having the best prospects & there’s zero guarantee any if these top prospects become stars at the next level. Dave Dombrowski is a HOF GM because he empty’s the chamber & goes all in! O’s are in yr 2 of a 5 yr window! DON’T SIT ON PROSPECTS! They can help the team by being traded!

Baltimore doesn't need Holliday. They have Henderson at short, Jordan Westburg 3rd or 2nd, then Colby Mayo could fit in at 3rd if your fine with your 1st base options, and if not you have Mayo can go to 1st and Connor Norby could fill 2nd with Westburg at 3rd. Baltimore have all the pieces to fill their infield without Holliday.

The tigers biggest weakness is pitching. If they move Skubal, they are done.

I actually think the Tigers could do something next year. Yes they've botched up their system a little bit but they still have a few gems. I love Malloy as a DH he seems to fit that mold perfectly and he's starting to heat up and his bat will play at this level and will play big. Colt Keith looks legit as well he's turned it around from his slow start and he's raking. For me though Jace Jung is going to be the big bat in Detroit. He's a high OPS number three hitter who walks a lot and has good power. I gotta think he's up soon. If I were Detroit I'd keep Skubal he's got two years left if it doesn't work out next season then trade him he'll still have great value with another year of control left.

Everyone's assuming the Tigers will pull the trigger on a value for value trade for Skubal. No way. Skubal is an Ace and you don't trade an Ace.

Dan loves using the phrase "Aircraft Carrier" lol

If Skubal goes to Baltimore not only will the price tag be painful, Maeda or Baez will need to go along. Flaherty and Chafin are likely to move before Skubal. Any Skubal deal will include a dozen players/picks. No way Baltimore makes that deal.

Why not go get the 2024 AL CY? Lock it in Regis. 🔐

No way! As an Orioles fan... 1. One pitcher is not going to fix loosing 4 pitchers since Bautista went down 2. Would not want to lose high draft picks we suffered thru the losing for like Holliday, Kjerstad or even Mayo 3. New owners who should spend this off season. Spend on pitchers and keep these prospects which will become the most talented lineup in Baseball next year when you add Mayo at 3rd, Basallo at 1st and Holliday at 2nd.

Holliday, Mayo, Basallo is going nowhere. Elias isn't going to trade 3 or 4 good, maybe great everyday players for a pitcher who pitches every 5 days. Skubal doesn't guarantee a championship.

8:32 Kratz been trying to get Castellanos salary dumped for a while lmfao real Phillies guy

Tigers need to make sure they don't wait too long with Skubal like the Os did with Machado. He's either available or he isn't

Ive listened very closely. You have pretty solid "general views of the contending teams .....that you commented on! The Orioles have the deepest bank of prospects and major league talent to negotiate with as the deadline nears. The Orioles are not the RICH franchise or market that yankees and Dodgers share.....Should be very interesting to see how things unfold over the next ten days!

Robert’s to Phillies sounds like a great idea if you ask me

Not going to happen. The O's aren't trading away almost ready prospects. Elias wants a youth movement in the team to build a core around. Like the Astros did during his tenure. He should wait until after the season and look for arms in triple A or any free agents. They were asking too much for Cease and the other starters last year at the trade deadline.

Tigers have Max Clark coming. Him and Holliday would be two awesome youngster's to build around.

9:53 it’s hard for Dombrowski to make a trade because he doesn’t want to upset the clubhouse
