Was today enough for the Tigers to sell?

Mike doesn't think the Tigers' firesale should stop at Tarik Skubal.

Mike and Rico take your calls on whether the Tigers should go all-in with their selling before the deadline.

Jeremy Otto sticks around this segment as the guys ask Valenti how he'd feel if the Yankees traded for Skubal.

Valenti and Rico continue their conversation about Skubal and pick apart the comments he's made.

Valenti and Rico round out today's show with a few more thoughts and calls regarding whether the Tigers need to extend their fire sale past Skubal (if they even trade him).

Valenti and Rico began the final hour with a reset on today's main topic, Tarik Skubal. They expanded on some past comments from the Tigers ace and why they fly in the face of everything he's actually done, not said, before they opened up the phone lines for the remainder of the show.

Valenti and Rico got right into a discussion about the Tigers and whether they should sell not only Skubal but other veteran players of value as well to begin the show. This conversation evolved into a broader topic about Scott Harris not having a plan for what will occur with his ace ahead of the deadline. The guys got some breaking news at various points, including Skubal being set to pitch in his scheduled start tomorrow night and the wild reasoning behind it. They took plenty of your calls on this throughout the show and wrapped it up with a reset of everything.

Mike and Rico kept their Skubal conversation rolling into the second hour. Jeremy Otto stuck around after his update to join the discussion and ask Valenti for his thoughts on the Yankees potentially trading for the Tigers' ace. Then, they reacted in real time to the news that Skubal will be pitching his scheduled start tomorrow night.

Mike is (really) out on the Tigers after a brutal weekend.

Valenti and Rico continue their Tigers trade deadline talk.

The guys react to a report from Marc Stein about Jalen Duren potentially taking the qualifying offer from the Pistons this offseason, which would make him an unrestricted free agent after next year.

Valenti and Rico began the first show of the week following an abysmal weekend for the Tigers, asking whether enough is enough regarding any hope they'd have of making enough headway before the deadline to not sell. They stuck with this topic for the majority of the show but were sure to briefly mix in their reactions to Kerby Joseph's social media comments and talk about the latest on Jalen Duren's (lack of) discussion with the Pistons on a contract extension.

Things get a little squirrely in the third hour of Friday's show, as the guys air their grievances about airports and the overall flying experience. Valenti has had it with infants on planes and says his parents stopped travelling for many years when he was a child. Plus, a riveting installment of 'Who Said It?'

Jalen Duren is reportedly seeking $57 million per year from the Pistons, but Mike says he wouldn't even extend the four-year veteran for $40 million per year. Valenti is unswayed by Duren's age and All-NBA accolades and says Duren could easily be replaced.

In the wake of LeBron signing with the 76ers, Mike and Brendan continue to be cranky about public contract squabbling of Tarik Skubal and Jalen Duren. While Skubal seems to put his foot in his mouth routinely, Duren simply seems to be out of touch with how the rest of the NBA values his services. His pursuit of a max contract extension from the Pistons is a non-starter for Valenti.

It's a Happy Summer Friday edition of the Valenti Show, with Brendan Schabath filling in for Rico. The show kicks off with reaction to the stunning news that LeBron James has signed with the rival Philadelphia 76ers. It's not good for the Pistons, whose relatively quiet offseason is coming into sharper focus in an increasingly competitive Eastern Conference. Jalen Duren appears to be no closer to signing, and reportedly wants a max extension. Even if he remains in the fold, Valenti isn't sold on the Pistons' core. Should they respond by acquiring Kevin Durant? The mercurial perennial All-Star might have signaled his interested in teaming up with Cade Cunningham. Yes, it's 'cryptic social media activity' season in the NBA.

Valenti is irate that Tarik Skubal can't keep his mouth closed.

Valenti and Rico upend their Red Wings talk for a conversation about Caleb Williams/other NFL QBs.

Valenti is in disbelief over a USA Today column by Nancy Armour about Caitlin Clark.

Valenti and Rico spent the vast majority of today's show reacting to Tarik Skubal's recent tone-deaf comments and an article from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic detailing Scott Harris' thought process in trade discussions. They mixed in some football along the way as well.

Valenti and Rico put a bow on today's show with some final thoughts + calls on Tarik Skubal's comments and Ken Rosenthal's insightful article on the situation. Then, they were joined by Wojo & Rico in cross-talk.

Valenti and Rico liken Scott Harris' plan for trying to trade Tarik Skubal to Steve Yzerman's with Dylan Larkin.

Mike has a lot to say to begin today's show about Skubal's comments regarding his elbow injury and more.

Valenti and Rico carried over their first hour topic into the second, speaking more of the people via your calls and texts.

Valenti and Rico spent the first half of the show in a conversation stemming from the World Cup expansion in 2030 about greed in sports and which league has ruined itself the most. They mixed in a few different topics in the third hour before reacting to some conflicting reports regarding Tarik Skubal's future with the Tigers ahead of the trade deadline.

Valenti and Rico hear from some of the people on the sport they think has ruined itself due to greed the most.

Valenti and Rico kicked off this week of shows with the report of a potential hold-in from Jahmyr Gibbs in order to receive an extension from the Lions. They covered this topic until they addressed the big news that Warde Manuel plans to step down from his role as Michigan Athletic Director in December, breaking down all the different angles regarding it. Then, they returned to their ongoing Skubal conversation before resetting the Gibbs topic at the top of the final hour.

Mike shared his indifference regarding a Lions extension of Jahmyr Gibbs. The guys expanded some more on this topic and then were joined by Wojo & Riger in cross-talk to wrap up the show.

Mike responds to the report from Jon Jansen that Jahmyr Gibbs may hold out or in to begin training camp.

Valenti and Rico have plenty of thoughts regarding today's huge Warde Manuel news.

Mike thinks the Lions need to resolve the Gibbs situation one way or another before training camp begins.

Valenti and Rico continued to address the inevitable when it comes to the news that Michigan AD Warde Manuel plans to step down in December. Somehow, U of M absolved Manuel of any wrongdoing in the investigation into Michigan athletics, and the guys struggled to comprehend this lack of accountability by anyone involved.

Marc Ryan (in for Valenti) and Rico react to some comments from Jon Jansen earlier today about Jahmyr Gibbs potentially holding out to begin this year's training camp.

Marc Ryan (in for Valenti) and Rico kicked off the final show of the week with their thoughts on Jon Jansen's speculation that Jahmyr Gibbs could hold out/in for a new contract to begin training camp. They broke down the possible outcomes from this throughout the first few segments of the show before they transitioned into a discussion regarding the latest in the Tarik Skubal trade rumors. The guys ribbed Marc for not knowing what The Odyssey is about and did "Who Said It?" in the third hour and then rounded out the show talking with Jeremy Otto and giving their Christmas In July gift wish lists.

Jeremy Otto stuck around after his top-of-the-hour update to give his own update on the grill that Valenti and Rico bought him. Marc and Rico discussed with him what he will make the first time he uses the grill before they gave their "Christmas In July" gift wishlist.

Valenti and Rico were joined today by Stoney and Wojo to commence the 2026 Stoney & Wojo Drop Invitational. The listeners made some tough decisions throughout the tournament, which culminated in what some would call a controversial finish.

Valenti and Rico spent the majority of today's show breaking down Steve Yzerman's exit as Red Wings GM in multiple different ways. Plus, they mixed in a couple of "In Football Today" segments and revealed a potential suitor for Tarik Skubal.

Valenti and Rico speculate some more about the future of the Red Wings.

There's no one happier about the Red Wings transitioning Steve Yzerman out of the GM role.

Valenti and Rico got today's show underway with their thoughts on last night's MLB Home Run Derby and why its airing on Netflix is part of a bigger problem in sports. They covered a multitude of topics in the second hour, including the latest in MLB/MLBPA discussions about a potential salary cap and floor, where MLS promotion has been during the World Cup, and which of the Skubal/Larkin/Duren situations you're most annoyed with. Then, the guys reacted to a list from anonymous NFL executives ranking the top QBs and where Jared Goff landed. Warde Manuel and his recent comments about the ongoing controversy surrounding him and the U of M were the focus of conversation in the final hour.

Valenti used the first segment to bash MLB and other sports leagues for putting events on streaming services. This stemmed from a discussion about the Home Run Derby last night, which was aired on Netflix. The guys tied this into a larger argument about greed in sports before talking about 5 NFL teams that could surprise people in 2026.

Valenti and Rico expand on the NFL QB ranking they reacted to at the top of the third hour.

Valenti thinks Skubal's time in Detroit should be coming to an end.
