It is Thursday, February 5th, 2026. This is another offseason addition to baseball today.

That is my man, Trevor Plouf. I am Chris Rose, producer Dan along for the ride as well.

Thought we were going to see you next week. But then those scrappy little Detroit Tigers just

hopped on and created chaos in the baseball world ploof i was ready to go last night uh but

you were at a basketball game and jake was at a basketball game so um i'm happy that you and i

decided to do it this morning because i think there is a lot of talk to talk about not just with the tigers

but i think it affects like a lot of different teams and

Zach Galen's probably like, all right, time to go. Yeah, you're probably right. Yes, I went and checked

out my Cleveland Cavaliers, busting up on the LA Clippers, like 24 hours after those two teams

made a little trade. So that was good. Are they a good team? I don't know anything about the NBA. Yeah, they're good. They're about to get better. They just picked up James Harden for Darius Garland and a swap of All-Star Guard. So yeah, we'll be interesting. Today is the trade deadline in the NBA world for our NBA fans out there. So I'm sure you all be tuned into that. But in the meantime, you are tuned into this,

where it wasn't a trade but a free agent signing

that kind of shook the baseball world to its core.

Because Framber Valdez ends up in Detroit, Michigan.

Three years, 115 million.

There is deferred coin in that.

He has an opt out after year two how shocked are you that's

where he ended up you know like if you're talking just about rosters and fits i'm not very

shocked but the tigers just haven't really operated like this like as of late uh so that that's the

shocking part that they're like okay let's go out and do it. Now, I'm very happy for Tigers fans.

I think this gives them actually a really, really nice rotation. You know, the more and more you look at like kind of like who they had, like Reese Olson, Casey Meis was an all star last year. You know, they got Jack Flaherty, who's solid. They actually had some pitching debt. But now you have like, you know, arguably the best one-two punch in all of baseball.

That's a... they actually had some pitching debt. But now you have like, you know, arguably the best one, two punch in all of baseball.

That's just like a different type of thing there.
