006 - Sam and Miz talk some Tigers 041726

In this episode of Michigan Insider, hosts Sam and Miz dive into the latest developments across Michigan sports, starting with the Wolverines' spring practices. They highlight emerging talent like running back Savion Hyder and quarterback Tommy Carr, whose improved athleticism and play extension have drawn strong praise from teammates and coaches. The duo also discusses promising defensive recruits such as David Polly, Benny Patterson, and Lugard, noting their physical traits and potential impact. Shifting focus to the Detroit Tigers, they express skepticism about the team’s $150 million, eight-year extension for rookie Kevin McGonigal, who has only played 18 MLB games. They compare the deal to the flawed Colt Keith contract and question whether the Tigers should have waited for a full season’s sample before committing long-term. The hosts debate whether the Tigers should have traded star pitcher Tarek Skubal before the season to maximize value, arguing that a bidding war could have yielded better assets. They remain cautiously optimistic about the team’s pitching depth but are concerned about the lack of offensive firepower. The episode closes with a playful segment on the Full Send Golf podcast, celebrating spontaneous fun and viral content culture.
