Well, it all depends, of course, how the Tigers play.

The first two months of the season, they were terrible.

They are 7-1 in the month of June.

They are starting to score some runs.

They are starting to look like the team that made the playoffs each of the last two.

two years.

So if they are a contending team with a chance to make the playoffs, a good chance, I don't think they're going to trade Tarek Skubal.

And I don't think they should.

Now I understand the smart thing to do would be to trade him and get a haul in return.

and they would get a haul.

But sorry, fellas, I grew up talking to Earl Weaver every day for five years in a row, and he used to look at me and say, when you got a chance to win this year, you win this year, and then you figure out next year, next year.

Imagine trading the best pitcher in baseball.

While your team is still very much in the playoff, the best team in the American League, while your team...

is right in the middle of this, that would be a really hard thing to do.

But it's one of the craziest situations that we'll see.

It all depends.

Where are the Tigers at the trade deadline?

I do.

And being as small as I am, I don't need a king size bed.

Anything is fine.
