Reds Get:
- Matthew Boyd - LHP
- Sergio Alcantara - SS
Tigers Get:
- Jose Israel Garcia - SS
- Freddy Galvis - SS

Tigers Get:
- Gleyber Torres
- Jacoby Ellsbury (taking on whole contract)
Yankees Get:
- Matt Manning
- Michael Fulmer
- Tarik Skubal
- Kody Clemens
Toyed around with this one on the Baseball Trade Values Simulator.
Tigers acquire a big bat in Torres to be the centerpiece of their organization along with top prospects Mize and Greene and do so by taking on the contract of Ellsbury to give Yankees more flexibility to make pushes for Cole/Strasburg/Wheeler. Ellsbury also serves as a decent veteran presence for the young Tigers who could use anyone in the outfield that can hit.
Yankees acquire two top notch pitching prospects in Manning and Skubal who are both on the MLB Top 100 list and the top 10 lists for righty and lefty pitchers respectively. Also get a still young and controllable Fulmer who should return around the all-star break for the Yankees and still has a chance to return to his RoY form. Clemens is a good middle infield prospect who is the son of Roger Clemens and could hit 30 homers a season with the short porch in Yankee Stadium while playing second.

There is no shot that the Yanks trade Gleyber. Maybe switch Andujar for him and lessen the return.
2.) 20 Nov 2019 01:22:13
There's not a combination of players the Tigers could move to acquire Gleyber Torres.

Good news, CubanFan,
The Tigers can now have Jacoby Ellsbury and give up nothing for him. Congrats.

Interesting trade idea with the Gurriel and Boyd rumours both coming today
TOR Gets:
- Matthew Boyd (LHP)
DET Gets:
- Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (OF)
- Orelvis Martinez (SS)

I read the Jays would be open to trading Gurriel Jr. They would be absolutely crazy to do it. It would make sense if they were a starting pitcher away from contending, but they aren't even close yet. And they are still in the AL East the last I checked.
Gurriel found a home in left field and he's a great hitter. He needs to stay. Jays need to grab any FA starting pitcher they can get until a couple of the young guys are ready.
2.) 12 Nov 2019 13:33:50
I could see it. I'd imagine the trade would be discussed around the likes of Biggio or Bichette, first, but Gurriel would be a great addition for Detroit.

Ideas of what the offseason blockbusters could look like:
Dodgers Get:
- Francisco Lindor (SS)
Indians Get:
- Alex Verdugo (OF)
- Dustin May (RHP)
- Jeter Downs (SS)
- Dennis Santana (RHP)
Dodgers get Lindor to build a potential infield of Turner at first, Lux/Hernandez at second, Lindor at short and Seager at third. Verdugo is expendable with Bellinger, Pollock, Pederson and Hernandez shuffling in the outfield, and provides Cleveland with a much needed (and young) outfield bat. May, Downs and Santana also provide an exceptional prospect coup for giving up a young star.
Mets Get:
- Mookie Betts (OF)
Red Sox Get:
- Brandon Nimmo (OF)
- Andres Giminez (SS)
- Dominic Smith (1B)
- Kevin Smith (LHP)
Betts give the Mets a young star and another flashy offseason move and the outfield would now look like Conforto/Betts/McNeil. This makes Nimmo, a still young and controllable outfielder and former top prospect expendable. Smith would also become expendable with the arrival of Betts despite coming off a solid year and also being a still young, former top prospect. Giminez and Smith are the true prospects headed to Boston in the deal with Giminez being a Top 100 prospect middle infielder and Smith being a lefty pitcher close to the majors.

Tigers Coaching Decision:
Hire Kirk Gibson as hitting coach.
1.) 15 Oct 2016 16:56:41
Why would you bother positing this.
2.) 15 Oct 2016 20:05:18
That's what everyone else on here says when you post sull.
3.) 16 Oct 2016 03:40:32
Haha very funny. But at least my posts are trades and signings not signing coaches.
4.) 17 Oct 2016 23:47:36
Hmm. Most call it garbage.
Errrr, yah, trades and signings.

Saw recently that Korean reliever Oh Seung-hwan is planning to come to the MLB. I feel that he would be a great under the radar addition to aid the beleaguered Tigers bullpen. Thoughts?
1.) 21 Oct 2015 00:06:29
Why any team would pay the posting fee for a 33-year-old reliever is beyond me.
2.) 21 Oct 2015 00:14:28
there are multiple guys who would be under the radar guys for that pen.

Here's a good piece on Papelbon, albeit a puff piece, but it's certainly not dishonest by any means:

^^^Don't know why this got on here.
13 Dec 2018 17:11:29
LA hasn’t pulled the trigger on Vedugo alone for Kluber or Bauer let alone him AND Urias and Maeda for considerably less.
23 Nov 2018 15:30:45
Santana gives the Tigers the ability to either platoon him and Cabrera at 1B/ DH or Santana can play 1B full time if needed.
31 Jul 2017 11:04:46
Yeah I tried this before the trade happened.
24 Jul 2017 12:07:26
It is a large package for these two but Wilson could spark a bidding war on his own with the large interest in him, add in Kinsler and I think the Brewers will have to overpay slightly which they have not shied away from in the past (i. e. Greinke and Sabathia trades)
15 Jul 2017 00:33:28
I do agree with the assessment on Fulmer and would hate to see him traded by Detroit. But what if the Cubs add Schwarber or Happ (or both) to this deal? I think Detroit couldn't say no to such a beneficial deal for the future of the team all around.
