With it looking like the Tigers will be sellers could Dom get his old friend on the phone and pull either off? Avila could really help the O, has been crushing RHP this year and has a great BB rate. The bottom of the order would look a lot different with him back there. If we could get both I wouldn't have a problem with Chavis a headliner.

He's only a rental and his contract was for 2M this year.

Rays apparently in talks for Wilson, but prospect price too high.

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC
