Detroit Lions' recent wins have us thinking about ... losing?

This rebroadcast of "Days of Roar" originally aired 7/15/24

The Detroit Tigers selected high school shortstop Bryce Rainer with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2024 MLB draft, followed by high school pitchers Owen Hall and Ethan Schiefelbein at Nos. 49 and 72, respectively. Tyler Jennings, the director of draft content at Prospects Live, joins the podcast to share his evaluation of the three players. After that, Mark and Evan discuss the Tigers' red-hot offense entering the All-Star break and how president of baseball operations Scott Harris should approach the July 30 trade deadline. They also take a look at Jack Flaherty's return from his back injury and Kenta Maeda's transition to the bullpen. To wrap up, Mark and Evan share what stands out about the way the Tigers have approached the MLB draft with Harris, assistant general manager Rob Metzler and scouting director Mark Conner running the show in the last two drafts.

Christmas in July for Detroit Tigers with Bryce Rainer in MLB draft, red-hot offense entering All-Star break

Carlos and Shawn talk the surprising off-season interest in the Detroit Pistons so far and discuss the larger cultural significance the NBA has over other sports. After that discussion, the guys take a look Cade Cunningham's max contract extension offer and debate if the move was the best choice for the rebuilding Pistons. After the break, Carlos and Shawn cover the buzz around if the Detroit Tigers should trade their pitching ace Tarik Skubal. Can trading Skubal help the ball club’s desperate need for hitting or is the pitcher the kind of cornerstone that the team should build around?
