MATT GARZA RUMORS & GOSSIP

The Detroit Tigers had some pretty high expectations this winter after signing Prince Fielder to that huge free agent deal. They were picked by EVERYONE to win the AL Central pretty handily. Things haven’t worked out as well as everyone would have hoped as the Tigers rotation continues to be pretty bad. After Justin Verlander, no one has really stepped up consistently, and...

Matt Garza is supposedly the Chicago Cubs best pitcher. That’s probably a problem. I know I’m the only one in the world that doesn’t think Matt Garza was worth the prospects Jim Hendry traded to the Tampa Bay Rays for Garza, but I think my argument is becoming louder amongst Cubs’ fans.

Phil Rogers gets it. A little over a year ago I was so miffed by the Cubs giving up 5 players, including 3 of their Top 10 prospects, for Matt Garza (and a prospect) that I wrote not ONE, but TWO articles criticizing the move. Now the Cubs are in between a rock and a hard place concerning Garza, they can either sign him to an extension, at the risk of him becoming the next Carlos...

The Detroit Tigers lost out in the Gio Gonzalez sweepstakes when the Oakland A’s dealt the lefty to the Washington Nationals, but that doesn’t mean the Tigers don’t have other options.
