Tigers Sign Framber Valdez Reaction

42 comments

1. Good luck with that POS !!…there goes the clubhouse chemistry

2. This is why I put zero stock in the Heyman Valdez to Toronto notion. Toronto doesn't need a Valdez at his price point. Toronto needs a healthy Santander and to deal Berrios

3. he wanted a what? 1:34

4. As a royals fan it feels like we just clinched second place again, felt like we were pretty even before this

5. So skubal might get traded

6. Isn't this the same team arguing a much better pitcher that they already have on their roster, is worth half the value of this guy?

7. Why do u think the redsox are good with that lineup?

8. Tigers Logic:
   – Framber's Value: 38M
   – Skubal's Value after b2b CY: 19M

9. Wow what an insult to Tarik

10. they just found an excuse to trade skubal

11. I love when they say weak division after having 2 playoff teams last year and 3 the year before with the twins being the 1st team out

12. As an O's fan I'm disappointed. I don't know the details so I can't say I'm mad at Elias and the team cause I don't know the offer or the negotiations, but geez, pretty sure we could've given him that money. Who could the O's sign now, if we even try to atp. Zac Gallen? Giolito? Is our rotation competitive the way it is now? Ugh, this season is so stressful and it hasn't even started yet.

13. this feels more like a short term insurance on Skubal leaving for me:

    Yeah they don't have any rush on trading him, but I will not expect on keeping him and losing him for nothing.. It maybe they will hold on Skub until the correct prospect package goes by before the trade deadline, if not he would be shipped at the deadline with a mix of MLB ready and prospects to keep the year afloat

14. I think this is a “we won’t be able to retain Skubal next year, let’s make a real move at the world series this year” kind of move

15. 38.33 mil AAV? That's 2nd highest AAV for pitchers right?

    That's absurd.

16. Now the Skubal battle begins between the Dodgers and Mets. Both have the money to extend him to 350.-400 million deal and both have a ton of prospects with the Dodgers ranking number one and the Mets top 10

17. ever since Scott Harris was hired the Tigers front office is borderline leakproof it's genuinely impressive atp, it's why I haven't taken any of the Skubal trade rumors seriously at all all offseason, because I guarantee if our writers and people in the clubhouse have no way of knowing what's going on random boras shills like Buster Olney sure as hell doesnt

18. This is a slap in the face to Skubal. 2 time CY Young winner not worth 32K, but a very good but not CY Young caliber pitcher is worth 38K? No sir!!

19. He not that good for that kind of money not at all.

20. So glad he didn't sign with the Mets.

21. I don't think I want someone in my clubhouse that purposely hits his catcher.

22. I feel for Tiger fans. I think this cements skubal leaving

23. As usual Heyman dont know shit 💩. Lol

24. So the Tigers saying Framber is double as valuable as Skubal since they give him nearly double as much as they want to pay Skubal?

25. Why couldnt you just give this to skubal???

26. For the record, the Tigers DID offer him a record setting arbitration. It just wasn’t his offer which is on the moon

27. What's up with the Pirates ballcap, Marc? I thought you were a die hard Mets fan.

28. Tigers had zero pitching besides Skubal to withstand the Jays lineup in a 7 game series if they somehow made it in a short 5 game series against the Mariners. Mariners too were extremely fortunate to quickly go up 2-0 in that series after the Kays coming off a layoff after hammering the Yankees. That series would not have gone 7 otherwise.

29. Skubal should get paid 3X as much as this guy. I laught a people that were predicting 45 mill per season AAV for him 😂. He can get north of 60 AVV on a long term deal if Framber got 38 😂😂😂😂

30. Love the hoodie

31. This is the biggest "Who Cares" move. The Tigers, without Skubal? Skubal's value will NEVER be higher. 2 seasons of control? Or 1? Framber ain't gonna like that cold weather. He's from the Tropics, and spent 6 years in Texas.

32. Ahhh finally, a solo episode. 😅

33. The Tigers are going to pay Framber about 20 mil a year too much. Sure he's good for getting 6 innings pitched just about every game he plays. The truth about him is that in alot of those 6 innings he has what we call a Framber meltdown. That's when he gives up to 5 runs in one of those innings he pitches and the Astros offense was not good enough too make up for it. The simple way of getting him in the meltdown mindset is to bunt the ball too him. Framber Valdez is the worst fielding pitcher in the history of the MLB. As far as the playoffs because he's a mental midget and cannot handle the pressure, he has always been even more terrible. Tiger fans will soon find out that Valdez is far from being an Ace pitcher and just another overpaided player not worth his contract.

34. Loved this move by the tigers, fantastic

35. Very happy as a Tigers fan

36. Lmao that lineup is not WS contending

37. Hard to imagine Skub staying after arbitration and this

38. Tigers pay this guy 35/year, but don’t want to pay Skubal anywhere near that. Clowns

39. Orioles need to fire Mike Elias NOWWW

40. Skubal just won arbitration. Probably mentioned on the Windup video but putting this here just incase. 32 million dollars btw.

41. I think you’re gonna start to see a shift in the AL… yankees clear shot to get the world series was the last two years but now, tigers, orioles, blue jays, red sox, maybe mariners, i think are now better than the yankees. Yankees have great pitching but by the time those pitchers come back, where will they be? And when they do come back, there not maxing out at 100 pitches a game when they come back. To me this was a good move and he woulda been signed sooner if he didnt have some concerns like crossing up his pitcher. Tigers are going for it with the 1-2 combo, i like it 🤙🏻

42. Welcome to the headcase Tigers.
