I'm sure and in the big picture, I think people would respect that and I respect the fire and people would want to play. At the same time, he's the coach and he makes the decisions and I totally respect that too." Montgomery was asked about the exchange and said after the game, "You know, I love Jordan Binnington.

5+ hour, 43+ min ago (320+ words) On Tuesday, ESPN insiders Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel ranked 25 MLB players likely to be traded this offseason. The rankings were done not in order of likelihood to be traded, but by how they regarded each player's value in a potential trade. The No. 25 and final player on the list was New York Mets contact hitter Jeff McNeil.

Skubal won his second AL Cy Young award in November, showing no signs of slowing down. However, what is the latest on Skubal's future with the Tigers? According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, Detroit trading Skubal is becoming "exceedingly unlikely" with the winter meetings coming soon. The Tigers would be foolish to pass up on an overwhelming trade package for Skubal, but as of now, nothing has reached that level. Unless the 29-year-old superstar has an injury, he is poised to earn the largest contract for a starting pitcher in MLB history next offseason. Therefore, the Tigers would need a massive package to even consider moving Skubal in the next few months. As of now, Detroit seems set…...
