It's a beautiful day to look ahead to baseball.

You thought we're going to do football again.

We will later in the show.

Pictures and Catchers report for the Tigers.

Today is Valentine's Day, and I would like to propose a situation ship.

A Friends with Benefits situation for the Tigers.

You have not one but two Premier Free Agents still unsigned as pictures and

catchers report. They are unsigned. They are not getting favorable terms from

the market. So what I propose that the Tigers inquire

about at least one of these guys and try to get a one-year deal. A friends with

benefits, situation ship, this isn't put a ring on it, long-term

Hobby Baez Miguel Cabrera stuff. This is a one-year deal where the Tigers pick up the

phone and say we will over pay for one season. I'm talking about

Matt Chapman and Cody Bellinger. The Tiger Payroll is $10 million less than a

year ago. This is a team that has aspirations of

winning a division, but the payroll is down from a year ago. So what does it hurt to go

to Matt Chapman who's a four-time gold glove third baseman and say you haven't

gotten the deal that you want long term. Let's use each other. You come here and

hit home runs and play gold-ove third base you make a name for

yourself you cash in next year in the marketplace we get someone who provides a

major league caliber third base gold glove at the hot corner third. He's hit 27 homers in two of the last three seasons.

He had a finger issue last year, wasn't as best year at the plate. Fine, you're not getting the offers you want.
