Except so far our starters have been good and won’t ruin payroll for years to come. 

That’s very good. Fwiw, I didn’t want MadBum or Ryu for their prices. I was open to trade for Kluber though and I’m glad we didn’t.

Madbum and Ryu both had histories of inconsistency and injuries, which is why it took longer for them to sign than their recent stats would suggest. 

Just know who you’re dealing with dude.  Lol.  It’s pointless.

Could have had Stripling but AL DAVIS Moreno said NO to it.

That said, I hope Simmons is back soon so Rengifo can go back to the bench and keep the bench warm, he just isn't hitting anything.

So who were the minor leaguers going the other way again?

Matthew Boyd has also been a disaster.

From what I've watched of him this season there's an uptick on his FB velo and his slider looks a lot like a young CC Sabbathia's and Randy Johnson's. 

So he's a different guy this season opposed to previous years. 

3 years of club control is pretty darn good though for someone who is already having success at the big league level and striking out a ton of guys.

I would, but would the Tigers?   Boyd is pretty much a known entity now, while Suarez is still unproven.    Might take a 3rd solid prospect to get it done.

Boyd already showed the Ks/BBs ratio and some solid endurance a year ago, over a full season.

I would absolutely include either Ward or Thaiss in a trade for Boyd. I know this is his breakout season so far and it’s early. However, it’s a chance to get a top of the rotation guy under control for two more seasons for an unproven corner infielder. Easy decision in my eyes but I think Detroit would want more.

Boyd will turn out to be a bad decision for whichever team acquires him.

You're being mean to disasters.

Was so glad they never traded for Boyd. Would have been overpaying for a guy based on really, only 2 good months of production. His ERA has been north of 6 his last 23 starts

I would Still trade Thaiss or Ward for Boyd Lou. They’re unproven and expendable.  
Boyd has had three terrible starts but he’s got upside. Just needs to clean up his pitch selection and execution. Nothing structural going on. He’s cost controlled through 2022. 

It wasn't just Thaiss or Ward, however. They would have been included in the deal.
