And I I still am, but I at, you know, the show goes on. And, uh, I I feel like I can at least hold it together and pretend uh, like I’m decent enough here for 30 minutes uh, today. So, we’re going to put our best foot forward and give it a shot here and then, you know, go to bed at 8:00 p.m. again and hope that uh tomorrow is better. So, I apologize for I don’t know if I like hack up a lung here uh at some point or if I sniffle a lot or if I sound awful or if I look awful. Those last two things I feel like you’re all used to with uh with me by now. I feel like I I usually do those two on a daily basis, but um joking aside, I I am very appreciative of you and uh yeah, thank you to those who reached out. We’re, you know, things were looking bleak there for for a little bit. I’m not going to lie. But uh we ball and we’re here and we’re ready just in time for winter meetings to kick off. We are going to talk about a lot of rumors surrounding the Detroit Tigers heading into winter meetings which technically start on Sunday night. Uh but that’s usually like the ah everybody welcome to the big you know resort and like get drunk and talk to each other thing or definitely not that never mind. You get my point. Um you know like the the gathering and and the ceremonies and and whatever. uh the the actual news and and whatnot will start on Monday morning in regards to winter meetings. So, it’s always a fun week. It’s always a really fun week. We’re going to talk about the rumors surrounding the team heading into those. Uh Kyle Finnegan, a name that we will talk about. Stephen Quan, believe it or not, a name that we will talk about. Uh, Catel Marte, Michael King, Pete Fairbanks. Let’s start with Pete Fairbanks. Um, this has been one of the more popular rumors, if you will, over the last, uh, you know, since I’ve been on my my metaphorical deathbed. Um, yeah, I mean, like, I would love it. Uh, Pete Fairbanks over the last three years has been one of the better backend relievers in the American League. Um the the interesting distinction I guess I’ll say with Fairbanks over the last three seasons as opposed to his first three or four seasons which I don’t remember exactly how old he is now around 30. Um I is that the K rate has gone down. Uh, and you you look at his career, his career strikeout rate is about 30%. Which is just astronomically high for a full again six, sevenyear career. That’s a really, really good number. But you compare that to his last two seasons, I it’s, you know, 23 and 24% which aren’t bad numbers. And I think that that’s the overarching kind of theme that I want to remind people as I dive into maybe like potential criticisms like I don’t bring up negatives just to bring them up or just to be like a jerk that is something bad or the opposite just like uh you know everything’s great in the world like you know there’s nothing wrong with anything the Tigers do like I don’t bring up positives and negatives just to do it. I’m just trying to paint, you know, the full picture. And I think with Fairbanks, the K rate has gone. I mean, there’s some seasons there where you’re talking about like pushing 40% K rate that he had in his first few seasons. Um, but, you know, a K rate in the in the, you know, mid 20% is still around league average. that that’s still even slightly above league average, 55th, you know, 60th percentile caliber, you know, K rate. So, um, yeah, I mean, like obviously I I I would have no issue with, uh, the Tigers bringing in a pitcher of Pete Fairbanks, um, you know, caliber, uh, if you will. you know, he’s uh uh has a great personality, which I I know has drawn uh some people to him over the years as well. But uh yeah, I I think the biggest thing for him is, at least in my mind, is going to be his market. Um it’ll be interesting to see if there is kind of a similar evaluation of his career trajectory where it’s like okay well the the K rate has gone down a little bit. Uh the walk rate has been solid the last couple of years but there was one point in his career where where the walk rate was very poor and the K rate was very good and he was kind of one of those types. Um so maybe this is the happy medium he’s been looking for. He’s 31 years old by the way. Um maybe this is like the the the you know the kind of the tight rope that he wants to walk where he’s okay not striking out or getting as much chase if he also isn’t walking as much. Um the thing that he has become incredible at is not giving up hard contact in the air. Uh he gives up ground balls and and he has a pretty high ground ball rate which is another reason why people are drawn to him. Um, but this is a guy that, you know, elite barrel rates kind of year in and year out over the last few years, certainly even with the K rate numbers maybe going down. But, you know, like he’s also had great years in his career where he’s had a lot of strikeouts and also not giving up barrels. So, um, to to each their own, like however you evaluate him is fine. I think ultimately this is just a guy that like as a Tiger fan looking at what the bullpen was last year, I’m not sure how you can really look at the profile and be turned off by the idea of him becoming a Detroit Tiger. The only caveat to that would be obviously if you know his asking price was like frontline rotation money as a reliever, which I can’t imagine that it’s going to be that egregious, but he’s going to get a decent payday. So, I I think the overarching theme with this entire show today is like I can say all I want that I’m interested in in a player. Okay? like people that that’s like my favorite report that during the off seasons is like oh like you know so and so team is interested in in landing you know bigname free agent. Well I’d hope so. They’re really good and they would make almost any team better. There’s 30 teams in Major League Baseball that bullpen would get better if Pete Fairbanks was in it. All 30, the Rays included. But you have to be willing to actually pay the price tag. Everybody had interest in show Otani, you know, two off seasonasons ago. That doesn’t mean that every team in baseball was willing to pay $700 million. So like it’s and obviously that’s an extreme example. Pete Fairbanks is not going to, you know, sniff 700 mil unfortunately for him. Um but he’s still going to make out pretty well all things considered. Um, it’s just that that’s kind of the biggest thing. You know, are the Tigers a team that is willing to pay over $10 million a year for a reliever? That’s my big overarching question. I mean, to be honest with you, really throughout this entire off season and has been throughout the entire Scott Harris era. Is this a team that’s going to spend money to improve the bullpen or is it going to be a team that takes reclamation projects and internal development and just say you know what all relievers are failed starters anyway outside of like Ben Joyce and you know a couple of extreme examples pretty much all major league relievers were starters at one Right. So, are we just going to use that to our advantage and well to what we think is our advantage and that’s just going to be what our bullpen is full of? I don’t know the answer. The issue I have with the Tigers front office in terms of how they address the bullpen is the fact that they don’t go after anybody that can throw hard. They don’t draft anybody that throws hard. They don’t sign people that throw hard. It drives me absolutely nuts in today’s era of baseball. where more pitches over 98 miles an hour have been thrown than any other year in the history of baseball comfortably by like 10,000 to the next closest. Like it’s not even close. A and the K rates that follow that and accompany those numbers. The Tigers don’t have anybody that throws very hard outside of obviously Terkco a and they don’t have very high K rates. Again, outside of obviously Derk Scooble and then Jack Flity has pretty good K numbers too. Not saying it’s it’s a necessarily everybody on the roster, but like they just don’t target them and then they wonder why their bullpen sucks. I have an idea. I have an idea. So, all that to say, Pete Fairbanks obviously would be a welcome addition to this team. Um there, but there’s going to be a big market for him. This is not like, oh, the Tigers can just are the only seat at the table and they just got to find a number. No, that they got to outbid people and that’s the part that raises concern. Ryan Helley is not a Detroit Tiger obviously. We’ll talk about that a little bit later. Um, want to talk about Michael King. Want to talk about some position players too. We’ll do that right after this. First though, got to talk to you’all about our friends over at Game Time. The World Cup is back in North America for the first time since 1994.

I appreciate you all so much for tuning in despite how I look and sound. Okay. I I’m so appreciative that anyone has lasted more than like 15 seconds of listening to me sound like I I currently do. So, I appreciate you all greatly making us your first listen every day and for making Locked On the number one sports podcast network. Today, we talk about some of the biggest rumors heading into Winter Meetings that start at the end of this upcoming weekend. Tomorrow we will do our full winter meetings preview that we always do the Friday before winter meetings start, kind of the biggest storylines heading into the week, etc., etc. Today we focus that a little bit more to just the Tigers perspective and obviously tomorrow will be the Tigers perspective too because that’s what we do on this show. I do want to talk about Michael King a little bit. Uh Evan Pzel put out an article that reinforced and kind of backed up the claim that uh Pete Fairbanks, you know, was on the Tigers radar by also adding in that Michael King was on the Tigers radar. King is another interesting one because he is a he is a failed reliever turned starter. Well, he he was a starter coming up through the Yankee system, then he was a reliever, then he kind of like he was like the Tyler Alexander, like the spot starter, kind of long reliever, whatever. And then the Padres’s two years ago gave him a contract to be a full-time starting pitcher and he was absolutely fantastic in 2024 in his first full season as a starter. This past year had some injuries, only started 15 games. The fastball got smacked silly. I mean, my goodness, it didn’t like drop in VO necessarily a ton. uh pretty much same velocity numbers and average VO that it has had at least as a starting pitcher. Um but it I mean it it the numbers against it were absolutely atrocious. it got demolished and um all of his numbers kind of went down had an RA pushing about three and a half which is still not bad and would still be a very welcome addition but you see a trend like that and you see you know he’s in his early 30s he’s only started two m full-time at least two major league seasons and now has the injuries that he had this year on top of all of that makes for a very interesting market value to me I’m not sure if people are just going to be able to ignore all of those things I just laid out. Um, but that being said, I I do kind of trust the Tigers pitching coaching staff where like if they see something in a a starting pitcher that they’re going to be able to at least make some tweaks and if not get the most out of him, like kind of set him, you know, I don’t want to say like fix that seems too dramatic. again he had a 34 a 35 erra but I I I think that there is something to be said for you know Federer and co Lond etc kind of getting their hands on him the interesting question to me is if that guarantees that they’re interested in him as a starting pitcher um and now I would imagine Michael King wants to remain a starting pitcher so I would assume so that that’s kind of my short answer to that um but I I don’t know maybe there’s a world in which the Tigers go, you know what, we want to preserve the arm. You’ve dealt with some injury stuff. You proved you could do it. Do you want to go back to the pen? I don’t think that happens. I’m just playing devil’s advocate with nobody here. Um, so we’ll see. I I just I have a lot of questions about what his market value truly is going to be with all of those things considered. Um, but I guess in the same breath, somebody with a lot of question marks that maybe has uh a a a market value that is below what their peak value is. Kind of sounds like exactly what the Tigers have been trying to do every offseason for the last three years. So maybe that makes it a perfect marriage. Some position players that I want to discuss. Catel Marte. This one would be a trade. Um, you know, it’s kind of interesting. I I don’t think this happens for the Tigers in a million years. I I don’t understand why the Diamondbacks would even trade him. He, you know, still has He’s under contract still going forward for a couple more years. I he this is a wild one because like legitimately I look at Catel Marte and I see one of the best position players in all of baseball like in our sport. That that’s how highly I think of him at least. Um I think he’s the best second baseman in all of baseball, American League or National League. And I I I mean, you’re talking like 900 OPS, 30 home run ceiling, good walk numbers, good K numbers, uh place average to above average defense at second base. I Yeah, like if the T obviously if the Tigers added Cel Marte, I’d be doing back flips on camera here. um you know and trying not to to you know cough up a lung while doing so. Uh but I I I really can’t fathom the Tigers being in on it. The a the resources you you’d have to give up, you know, good prospects. Like you that kind of goes without saying you’d have to give up a heck of a return for a player of his caliber. I I also think that from the Tigers viewpoint, they already have a billion in second baseman, man. So, like unless you are planning on moving him back to center field, which I don’t think is a good idea. He the the Diamondbacks moved him off of center field for a reason. He he was much more productive and effective at second base. Um and he’s been pretty much exclusively second base for what, three years now? I think 2021 is when like the transition happened where he played like center field and second base and then I think this is like off the top of my head I’m pretty sure every year since then he’s been almost exclusively there. Know he had a couple of games at shortstop here and there too a couple of years ago but like he he’s pretty much exclusively a second baseman for a reason. I I I just I I don’t look ultimately that’s a a good enough talent where if you bring them in you figure it out and you celebrate it. I just don’t think the Tigers front office is going to be chomping at the bit to add, you know, we’re gonna have a whole lineup of second baseman uh next year at this rate. I just don’t think they’re going to be able to they’re going to be willing to move the resources considering that. Um Byron Bucks on the other hand is a little bit of a different story. I want to talk about him. I want to talk about Steven Quan and then some other moves that are potentially on the horizon right after this. First though, got to talk to you’all about our friends over at FanDuel. The NFL is back and NFL Sundays move very fast. One big play and suddenly everything feels so different.

FanDuel, the game moves fast and so can you. All right, everybody. Welcome back. Your third and final segment of Locked On Tigers. I appreciate you all so much for tuning in. Uh Byron Buckton was named in uh Jeff Passen of ESPN put out an article highlighting the 15 best players that could be on the trade block heading into winter meetings. also know also accompanied this uh each player with a percent chance of them getting moved. So like for instance, Derek Scuba was on this list obviously as the number one player. However, he only gave him a 10% chance of actually being traded. Byron Buckston very good player, premier center fielder in this league. um gave him I believe it was a 25 20 25% chance of getting traded in the article but listed the Tigers as a potential suitor for Buckston. I you know I I’ve been really like negative Nelly with the trade proposals this off season. I just think a lot of things that um you know either national media or just like analysts have put out there in terms of like the Tigers could be interested in are honestly just not actually good fits. Um you know we mentioned like Marte to an extent is is in that conversation. So like I I I I feel like there’s been a lot of me just saying like oh this is not you know going to happen. This is stupid. The Tigers would never do this. whatever. Um, Buckton is one that I actually think makes a ton of sense for the Detroit Tigers. Now, does that mean that I think this is going to happen? No. There are way too many things working against it. That is Byron Buckston has a no trade clause. Um, so he can basically just give a full no trade clause at that. He can tell the Twins, you’re not trading me just straight up and then he’s not getting moved anywhere. He can also tell the Twins, I will only wave this for these teams. And it can be anywhere from, you know, one to 29 teams. Also, the Twins would have to be willing to move their former number one overall prospect, like franchise player that they’ve kind of built the last what decade of Minnesota Twins baseball around to an inner division rival when he’s still like not that old. He’s in his early 30s. and just played the most games or or had the most played appearances at least in his entire major league career finally in 2025 and I believe it was the highest F4 season of his career for that reason. So because of all of those factors, I don’t think there’s a chance on God’s green earth that Byron Bucken is ever going to be manning center field for the Detroit Tigers. Now, I think from the Tigers perspective, that’d be freaking awesome if there was a chance. Uh because he is a righty that is an elite defensive outfielder. He steals bases if you want him to. He He really can do everything. He strikes out a decent amount. He’s not going to help you a ton in that regard, but he gives you an power right-handed bat that also provides speed and elite defense at a premier position that you want it at. There’s also the aspect, and this is the biggest thing that I’m sure a lot of people are screaming at me as they listen to this, and they’re like, “Why have you not even brought this up yet?” Byron Buckston has been seriously hurt in almost every single year of his Major League Baseball career. Um, not to his fault. He’s a professional athlete that’s in incredible shape and is one of the most athletic players to play any professional sport in America. Um, but his body has just not held up its end of the bargain, I guess you’d say, from when he was the number one prospect in baseball. So, um, I mean, again, what do the Tiger What would the Tigers be willing to give up? I have no clue, but the Twins would want a ton, especially going inner division. And Buckston would have to wave a no trade clause. and and and and and so this is never happening, but it is actually one that I I I think would, you know, is actually a good fit, which I haven’t said too often. I feel like with these rumors this off season, Steven Quan would just be hilarious really more than anything else. Um he’s another lefty, but like he certainly fixes the strikeout and and walk problems, right? Like that didn’t walk as much this year, but has walked a lot in his career. never strikes out literally ever. Um would be a great guy to put at lead off. He is another left-handed outfielder. That’s kind of frustrating just because the Tigers have a billion left-handed outfielders and can’t find a right-handed outfielder, but I think if the opportunity presented itself, they wouldn’t really care. They just throw him in uh in right or left field opposite of Riley Green, Carpenter with DH, and they’d call it a day. He’s a good enough defender, plays the game uh in a really, really professional way. Tigers fans hate him because he absolutely kills us. Maybe he’d like hit 400 in Kica Park over a full season. So, um yeah, I mean like I wouldn’t be against it, but I don’t think that’s happening. Moves that, uh are also rumored. Kyle Finnegan a reunion. This I don’t have too much to say other than like this just really feels like a layup. Um I mean we’ll see what Finnegan’s market is, I would imagine. uh his second half in Detroit and just kind of like his last three years in general. He’s been, you know, a high-end reliever for the Nationals, came over here, I mean, made an all-star game, right? Like he was solid there. Came here, made a couple of tweaks, was phenomenal. I’d imagine he has a decent market. It also really does sound like he has interest in returning. The Tigers have interest in bringing him back. I think that this probably does happen, and I’m totally fine with it. Uh, this is one I said earlier in the year. Some people I feel like kind of almost got like offended when I said I I didn’t really care either way. Excuse me. I’m shocked it took this long. Um, I I I made a comment. I don’t think maybe my I don’t remember my exact words. Whatever I said, I basically insinuated that I would be okay with the bullpen whether Finnegan returned or not. Um, that doesn’t mean that I I won’t celebrate his return. He was fantastic down the stretch for the Tigers. And I think that a full season of working, you know, with uh with the Tigers coaching staff could could obviously do him some favors uh as showed um or as shown rather. Um but we saw post injury that, you know, he’s not going to have a zero RA throughout the entire season, right? Like there’s obviously uh that like Yeah. Like I I think it’s mostly just that like it’s just one of those things where if he comes back I I’ll be happy with it. And uh I I think that he would immediately be what the the eighth or ninth inning guy. I I I still my biggest point I I’ll stop rambling and and fumbling over my words and actually just say what I mean here. My biggest point is I’m okay if you bring Finnegan back. I don’t want Finnegan or Vest to be the ninth inning guy on opening day. I want a big money legitimate back-end reliever. That’s all I’m trying to say. And I’ve just been incapable of speaking English for the last two minutes. So, I apologize for that. Bear with me here. But, uh, that that’s my biggest point. You can bring back Finnegan. You can bring back anybody you want. I just want an actual, you know, dog. Like a, and that’s not to say that they aren’t dogs, but like I I want like a a two erra, like high strikeout rate guy. I I want a real premier closer that all these other contenders have. I don’t want to patchwork a bunch of three erra guys throughout the course of a season. We tried to play that game this year and it blew up in our face. Speaking of Devin Williams, who the Tigers expressed interest in earlier in the off season, signed with the New York Mets. They were never going to pay him whatever it was, $50 million. Tigers, uh, you know, we’ll we’ll see if they even have the the, you know, the stones to fork over 10 to to 12 million a year for a reliever. Nonetheless, whatever, you know, Devin Williams Aav ended up being all things considered. So, um, yeah, like that was that they were never going to reach that price tag. I’m sure that they didn’t go deep into the negotiations once they realized that was kind of the number being floated out there. Um, we’ll see. I I don’t think this opens the door for Edwin Diaz, like leaving or staying the Mets anymore than it already did. I think the Mets would love to have both of them. Um, and the Tigers certainly aren’t going to spend the money on Edwin Diaz. He’s going to get like a hundred mil, I’m sure. Um, Ryan Ellie to Baltimore. We talked about that earlier in the week when it happened. Uh the uh Kyle Tucker visited the Blue Jays today. Interesting. Um I’m just reading updates as I get them on my phone. Uh it’s the only thing I want to bring up in terms of Hley is that uh in his introductory press conference, he named dropped the Detroit Tigers and said that they were pursuing me as a starting pitcher. And a lot of other teams wanted him as a closer and as a reliever. and the Tigers wanted him as a starter. Um, and you know, he didn’t outright say it. Uh, but I I kind of based on his quotes and and what he was saying to the press, I kind of interpreted that as he wants to be a closer and like it’s not that deep of like, oh, he hates, you know, he didn’t want to play for the Tigers or he didn’t like what I think he just wanted to be a closer and the Orioles gave him closer money and promised him a closer role. And so that’s where we’re at. Only other news uh on Wednesday is Cedric Mullins signs with the Tampa Bay Rays. That was never like on the Tigers radar. A lefty platoon lefty at that. Hasn’t hit well against left-handed pitching in a while. Also just offensive numbers have kind of fallen off since his great season a few years back. So uh yeah, we’ll see. But um I mean if there’s anybody that’s like the most Tampa Bay Rays signing of all time. So um we’ll see what happens there. Okay. Hey, thanks for making Locked On Tigers your first listen every single day. Shout out to the Every Dayers that do tune in every day. Again, I’m so sorry for the absence. Um, I I hate missing shows more than anything. So, I apologize for that. Uh, hopefully we’re back on the horse here with no, you know, bumps in the road or anything. Uh, sorry I sound the way I do. Uh, I I would fix it if I could. So, give me tomorrow and then the weekend and hopefully for winter meetings next week. We’ll be uh we’ll be back in in regularly scheduled programming and whatnot. All right, peace and love. Going to therapy is dope. I’ll catch you all tomorrow where we will discuss all the biggest stories going into winter meetings on Monday. Go Tigers, baby.

  1. Yes, by all means the Tigers should sign Michael King. Heading into winter meetings Alex Bregman should obviously be priority #1, and King should probably be priority #2 IMO. I also love the Idea of signing Pete Fairbanks as a cherry on top.

  2. I'd still like to know how we lost out to the Yankees on Bednar? We could have had Bednar for two years which would have been perfect since Skubal was gone in two years. How did we get outbid by the Yankees when we have a top 5 farm and they Yankees have a bottom 5 farm. The Yankees gave up their #8 prospect, #18 prospect and an unranked prospect. Is someone going to tell me that we couldn't have done better than that? Harris holds onto prospects too long and then you can't get nothing for them once they have been exposed. Look at Jung and Malloy.
