They added to it in this offseason.
But Kevin, and I understand what you're saying, I just, I don't care what his defense is like, to be honest with you.
I think this team is so lacking in power that they need to find ways.
And since you now have the designated hitter in the National League, if that's where he is, then so be it.
I'll put him in that lineup every day and see if he can hit 40 home runs for me
they have guys who are better defensively, sure, but they don't have power bats.
Still, even with the additions that they've made, I still think they need more power, don't you?
I'm all for starting Connor Griffin right off the bat and just see what he has, but I'm going to go to another interesting cause we're in, we're entering the arbitration season coming up here, Kevin, which is always interesting.
And I think the Pirates will have an eye on this because the two-time Cy Young Award winner for Detroit, Tarek Skubal, is eligible for the first time.
And how this works is that you get a β he submits what he wants.
They submit, the team does, what he wants, what they want.
And then there's a three-panel person arbitration panel there, Kevin.
I believe that's what it is.
And then they either compromise at a sum in between or β
The arbitration panel picks one of the other.
So he wants $32 million.
The Tigers have countered with $19 million.
He's a two-time Cy Young Award winner, and this outcome will affect Paul Skeens down the road because he's going to go through the same process here down the road.
What do you think happens?
