The Tigers are stupid to part with significant assets instead of signing Conforto. Meadows is nothing special at LF/DH and useless elsewhere. Detroit could have pounced on signing an elite bat next year for LF, but settled for mediocrity. If neither Greene nor Baddoo can play CF decently (which would be in line with the projections), the Tigers ensured to have subpar OF defense for years.

Seems weird for Tampa. Meadows is really good and not very expensive either.
Big win for the Tigers

He was a 2 war player last season and a 7 for his career. He’s not terrible but he isn’t anything special.
Also, now is when he starts getting paid since 2022 was his first arb year; he is at 4 million this year.

As a Tigers fan, I'm trying to like this move, but I'm struggling.
Meadows bat is a huge upgrade over the alternatives (Hill/Reyes), but he's a mediocre defender who should be a full time DH (which he obviously will not be).
Meadows lack of versatility seems like an odd fit with Detroit; it's not like Greene is going to be out forever. For the final time, I'll beat the dead horse that Kris Bryant (1B/3B/LF/CF/RF) would have been a perfect fit with the Tigers.
Detroit obviously didn't pay a ton, but Paredes has more career (AAA) walks than strikeouts. That screams a player Tampa Bay will figure out how to turn into a star.
