Betances hitting McCann in the head was the worst. It's one thing to throw at someone in that area, it's another to stand on the mound and run your mouth afterward the way he did.

And he didn't get suspended. Gary Sanchez got as many games for 2 sucker punches as Alex Wilson did for hitting a guy in the ass with a pitch and admitting it was on purpose afterwards. Ausmus got a game and Girardi got nothing because reasons. Absolute horseshit. This is why players police themselves, MLB doesn't do shit to deter it.
Upton apparently was going to opt out with our impending rebuild so to get something for him is good. Just sucks that our two best trade chips this season play a position that has no market.
Wonder how much money the Triggers were keeping. If that's a full salary dump that would have been a nice return. JV appears to want Cubs or Dodgers. Kinda bummed but kinda not. I don't see how he doesn't get moved in the offseason now.
He's gonna get a lot of heat for saying no especially with what Houston is going through right now but he's earned the no-trade clause. He doesn't owe anybody a damn thing.
I'm stunned. I'm gonna miss him. But I'm happy about the return we got and I'm happy for JV. He deserves a ring and to go into the Hall of Fame in a Tigers cap. Pulling hard for Houston in October even more so now.

You mean don't trade JV unless someone is willing to pay up. If they trade him as a salary dump I will be grabbing my torch and pitchfork.
