So crazy it might just work?
Chicago Cubs/Detroit Tigers
Cubs recieve- Price, Cespedes, and Kinsler
Tigers receive- Russell, Soler, Edwards JR, and Mike Olt
Why the Cubs do it?
They have the ability to resign Price and Cespedes in the off-season. And Kinsler is still a really good player.
Why the Tigers do it?
Russell and Iglesias could be a great duo up the middle for years. Soler can have time to develop into a potential Cespedes in the OF.

Russell is untouchable. He especially won't be traded for 2 rentals, and an aging veteran. Adding Edwards makes it worst
2.) 23 Jul 2015 02:37:46
Soler is the only player in the list of what DET would get

Detroit is not going to take Solar he is still trying to prove he belongs in the MLB and they have outfielders and depth in the Minors in the outfield. Its the infield, RP and SP they need.

Fantasy
3-team trade
Nationals-Tigers-Cubs
Nationals Receive- Russell, Solar, Moya, and Avila
Tigers Receive- Harper, Clipperd, and Castilo
Cubs Receive- Price
1.) I think this is an unnecessary 3 team trade. It could be made between the Cubs and Tigers. Cubs have the prospects.
2.) I'll keep this simple: NO.
3.) My fantasy is that people finally realise that the Cubs aren't trading guys like Soler, that are a key part of their offense. And that the Cubs second tier prospects are better than most teams first tier prospects. And finally that they get to know names like Vogelbach, Almora, Mckinney, and on down the prospect list, because those are the ones that could realistically be traded.

Idk if this would work but here you go.
Reds-Tigers
Reds receive- Moya, Suarez, and Porcello
Tigers receive- Bruce, Hoover, and maybe Mike Leake
1.) The Reds and Tigers do not match up well for a trade, even if the Reds decide to move Jay Bruce. All the scouting reports I have read on Moya list him as a below average player who, unless his approach changes, will have a hard time making it to the majors to stay
2.) First I have no idea what reports you are reading, but he has dominated at every level, and is stil growing into his body. MLB scouts have him listed as a potential All-Star if he continues on this pace. Second Detroit doesn't need another hitter who can't play defense. Like reading do you check out his WAR.
3.) You tell other people to do research, you do rilize that Bruce is a gold glove caliber defender. But I agree with you on Moya.
4.) Quotes about Moya from scouting reports:
"has impressive tools, but has had problems turning them into baseball skills."
"gets himself out way too often by chasing pitches out of the strike zone"
"repeatedly looks foolish against off speed stuff"
"looks rough in the outfield. He gets poor jumps, making fly balls and adventure."
"destined to be a DH, if/when he makes it to the majors"
The Reds are the best defensive teams in the majors for a reason. Moya struck out 179 times in the minors. Not a player the Reds could use.
5.) ^thats pretty much what it says on his page on the Tigers top 20 prospects. And just because he is number 6 on the Tigers top 20 prospects doesn't mean he is a good prospects. You go to remember every team has top 20 prospect list and overall many players could out rank him. Plus the Tigers farm is one of the weakest in the majors.
6.) Moya is worth more then you think. He is very young has only been playing full time baseball for two years.Second the Reds defense is good, but check out Bruces War. Its not that he is not a good hitter he is, but his war on a defense that already struggles is not going to work. Yes he would be an upgrade over what they have, but is he better then Melky not for what detroit needs. Which is a number 2 hitter that can play defense.
