| 0:00.0 | All right. So the Tigers just sign Kevin McGonicle, eight years, $150 million deal. |
| 0:08.3 | Averages out to about a little under $9 million per year. I want to ask this question to the |
| 0:13.9 | listeners out there. 248, 5399797. Look, let's just go ahead and remove the floor. We all know who probably is the worst GM in this city. |
| 0:24.4 | I want to ask this question. |
| 0:26.6 | Did this move make Scott Harris the best GM in the city of Detroit? |
| 0:33.2 | Did this move of locking up your guy early, along with other things that he did in the offseason? |
| 0:39.7 | When you look at the other three, let's just general manager between him, Scott Harris, Trajan Langdon. |
| 0:45.6 | Did this says Scott Harris apart amongst the other two? |
| 0:49.7 | Because I'm going to say it did. |
| 0:52.3 | I'm going to say I now feel like the tigers are trending in that direction where they're |
| 0:57.7 | actually seeing a need or they're actually seeing something and they're getting it done. |
| 1:01.6 | Now, yes, do they need to add a bat? |
| 1:03.4 | They do. |

But in that six days, he gets Framber Valdez. He then goes out there. They lose touba, but that's okay. And it's like, okay. And then they even bring in Justin Verlander. Now, he hasn't done anything. But it was like, damn, that was a hell of six days for Scott Harris. Now you look at this. To me, I think the Tigers are going to be active when it comes to the trade deadline. |
| 1:44.6 | Of the three general managers out there, the three decision makers for the team, |
| 1:50.0 | I'm raking Scott Harris, one right now, ahead of Trajan Langdon and ahead of Brad Holmes. |
| 1:58.0 | Langdon, Langdon is a close second because he went out there. He got his head coach. |
| 2:04.3 | He got a head coach that flipped this thing around. He went out there and got a coach who actually |
| 2:08.7 | wanted to be here in Detroit, who actually gave a damn, and he's got this team fired up that they |
| 2:14.3 | went wire to wire. He's a close second. I got Brad Holmes's third for me. |
