Tigers Havent Seriously Discussed Trading Scherzer - RealGM Wiretap
Dave Dombrowski insists that the Detroit Tigers haven't held serious talks about trading presumed Cy Young winner Max Scherzer.
"Anyone who says that has been discussed on a serious level is wrong," Dombrowski said of dealing Scherzer, who can become a free agent after the 2014
season.
Despite Detroit's stance http://www.devilshockeyauthority.com/kyle-palmieri-devils-jersey-c-6/ , many executives believe Scherzer will be placed on the block this winter.
"It might be posturing to try to influence Scherzer to engage in a long-term contract," an AL executive said. "Try to scare him that he will get traded so he
can pressure [agent] Scott Boras. It won't work, but I think that's the tactic."
Demotion Expected To Delay Shelby Millers Free Agency - RealGM Wiretap

roster this year to reach four full years of Major League service.
Miller would need to return to the Major League roster by Thursday to reach 172 days and move from the 3+ to the 4+ arbitration class. He had been on track

Diamondbacks will control him for 2019 as well.

suspension and look forward to appearing before the arbitrator in the near
future." MLB Defends Reds Marlins Controversial Call - RealGM Wiretap
Major League Baseball has issued a statement defending a controversial call at home plate that led to the ejection of Mike Redmond and generated complaints
from the Miami Marlins after their loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday.
Zack Cozart was initially ruled out by umpire Mike Winters while attempting to score the tying run in the eighth inning. However, a subsequent review
declared him safe after replay officials in New York determined that catcher
Jeff Mathis had violated Rule 7.13 by failing to provide Cozart with a lane to
the plate.
The Reds capitalized on the overturned call to take the lead on a two-run single by Ryan Ludwick. Redmond was ejected for arguing after the six-minute
review, and Marlins president David Samson referred to the sequence of events as
a "travesty."
