There's no reason why anyone should lend any ounce of credence to what Dan Clark has to say, especially about a brilliant young outfield prospect who just so happens to share his last name.

Max Clark did struggle during spring training with the Detroit Tigers. But there's no relation between the two other Dan Clark using the Tigers' prospect as his latest example of why each of his baseball takes is worse than the previous one.

In true hot take fashion, Clark rolls out his takes on social media and doesn't care that most of it isn't rooted in baseball logic. No matter how many chains a player is wearing or what type of sunglasses they have on, there's no correlation with their performance on the field. But in what's become a larger problem with social media, Clark can throw these takes out there, and those who take him at his word are too lazy to do the simple research it takes to disprove him.

There's only one instance where Clark's takes should be exposed. That instance being on the rare occasion he eats crow. While most trolls never look back after revealing awful takes, we'll give Clark a tiny ounce of credit for what we did over the weekend. The "MLB content creator" walked back his previous criticism of the Tigers' 21-year-old prospect.

Tigers fans never need to hear from Dan Clark again

Don't worry, everyone. Dan Clark has been following Max Clark's 2026 season closely. So closely that instead of using any of the various advanced metric platforms available to him, he chose to simply screenshot his MiLB player page.

The lesson here is do yourself a favor and mute Dan Clark. He looked for the cheap pop during spring training, and wouldn't you know it, actual baseball evidence is proving him wrong.

Max Clark has been thriving during his first month with Triple-A Toledo, slashing .351/.416/.519 with a wRC+ of 151. Defensive metrics in the minors aren't exactly tracked in the way they are at the major league level (which makes you wonder just how closely Dan has been following the top prospect), but by most accounts, Clark's defense has certainly looked better than it did during spring training.

Eventually, Max Clark is going to be with the big-league club — and Tigers fans, before then, do yourself a favor and ignore Dan Clark for good.
