Despite popular belief there is no July 32nd. We are in the August stretch of the Baseball season. Every player making any semblance of money is put on waivers. Don't freak out. It doesn't mean someone is getting traded. Enjoy your favorite team's playoff hopes dwindling.

Extending Max and just letting Price go to arb would probably add 50m on to next year's payroll. Which doesn't seem to be a problem, since Vmart and Torii's 15m comes off the books. That'd put them at around 140-150m needing two corner outfielders. I'm not buying the JD Martinez resurrection (although I liked him in Houston). Davis should be a serviceable CF.

Will be even more interesting if Pizza Lich extends Price and Max since money is his #1 power. And when you're already spending, it's better to keep spending than go cheap. (RIP Ruben Amaro).

That's just as fine too for the Tigers. A top 3 of bounce back Verlander/Price/Sanchez is still probably good enough to win the Central again. gently caress Dombrowski.

The Price move gives them flexibility beyond this season, basically gently caress the Tigers.

OK Dan Uggla really is a free agent now.

He refused the AAA assignment. Where does the dude think he's gonna play? He has to be a DH, and he probably won't hit enough to stay at DH.

I'm getting unreasonably excited for a playoff field of BAL/KC/OAK/TOR in the AL and WSH/MIL/LAD/PIT in the NL. I would watch every game.

Also, the Tigers and Royals couldn't be more opposites. Tigers #1 in all offensive categories, bottom of the AL in pitching. Royals top 3 in pitching, bottom of the AL in offense. Hopefully Willingham helps them out a bit.
