Can Lackey get DFA'd too, please?

The Tigers are reportedly open to listening to offers for Justin Verlander.

Cardinals option Aledmys Diaz to Memphis and call up Alex Mejia. We are just a hot mess this year.

Miguel Andujar's first major league at bat is a 2 RBI single.

Kris Bryant helped off the field with a leg injury. I only saw the aftermath, so not sure if it was the knee or ankle, or what happened.

...and now Kris Bryant has been injured. An apparent ankle injury...now sure how serious.

I see Lackey is getting lit up. Has he thrown his temper tantrum yet?

No way! We need to keep him. He's chasing history--the most HRs allowed by a single pitcher in a single season. With 3 more given up tonight, he's now sitting pretty at 24 taters allowed (he allowed 23 all of last season). He's on pace to give up about 50 HRs assuming 33 starts.

Couldn't happen to a nicer d bag.

I liked this post in my head even though you can't see it.

Here's to another 108 years in the making! Hopefully it's not serious. Team is definitely taking on more and more water as the weeks go by with few signs of a return to last year's quality of play.

More on the Montero situation..commentary from Theo and Joe Maddon:

Probably better suited for off topic, but since the conversation originated in here...

What happened to Bryant? I didn't see it.

What happened to Bryant? I didn't see it.

High pop up down 3rd base line...as he caught it he stepped on the bag and rolled his right ankle pretty good. He couldn't even put weight on it...had to be carried down the dugout steps/to the club house.

Re: 6/26 - 7/9 Game Discussion Thread

Hopefully with being DFA'ed Montero will have learned a lesson. You don't go blasting your teammates the way he did to Arrieta...

If this was the only time Montero spoke out, I think he's still a cub...even if it was disparaging. His words the day of the parade saying he should've gotten more playing team already showed what kind of teammate he is - I think Rizzo's comments somewhat speak to that as well.

Re: 6/26 - 7/9 Game Discussion Thread

Of course the Tigers are listening on Verlander. The guy is 34, is getting lit up and has 2 years at 56M and whatever he is owed for the rest of this year.

Maybe transitioning to the NL is next for him? Dodgers management are done with the spending binge but maybe they take a flyer? Rockies?

Judge with another home run.
