Nick Baumgardner

is a problem.

Top five player in baseball.

He's a problem.

Their catcher is a problem.

There are certain things that you depend on when you talk about that.

My thing with the Royals is how long can Sal Perez keep doing it?

And then every year you see him come to this city and do what?

Whatever he wants.

Doing it.

And then the Detroit Tigers are the leader of the pack.

Until they went out and got Farmer Valdez, I'm like, man.

what are the Tigers doing?

You're possibly in the last year having Tarek Skubal on your roster, and you just roll the ball out again?

And they made a legitimate move.

So I see the Tigers as a team that says, all right, what we have, what we're able to do, you bring in Kenley Jansen in your bullpen, you keep Gleyber Torres there to play second base, you got more out of Spencer Torkelson in 25 than you had any other year, and then you bring in Frambois Valdez

to be the number two to Tarek Skubal's number one.

That's a solid one-two punch.

And then you have that ace going forward after you lose Tarek Skubal to free agency.

But more importantly, if you're up against it and you look around the division and see no one's going to challenge you, just get to the dance and see what happens.

Because anything can happen once you get to the postseason in any sport, but especially Major League Baseball the way it's designed.
