A. Cabrera to Nats (for Walters). One of my "favorite" players because I have a friend who absolutely hates the Indians for some unknown reason and insists on referring to him as Ass-dribble Cabrera.

Zach Walters and some cash....

And by cash I mean, CLE is picking up the entirety of his salary for the rest of the season.  They must REALLY like Walters.

Price to the Tigers would be the biggest FU to Billy Beane.  Even I would feel sorry for him....

Also, Stephen Drew to the Yankees?  I can't believe that...

Rosenthal says Price to Detroit. EDIT: Appears to be a three-teamer deal with the Mariners factoring in somehow.

I am going to be deliriously giddy for like five minutes until I think about the smoldering tire fire that is Detroit's farm system.

The only mistake here is that the Tigers left Beane with 10 more minutes....

Beane does something at 3:57. Tigers get Uehara at 3:59.

Mariners getting Austin Jackson and Smyly from Tigers. Sending Nick Franklin to Rays.

Rajai davis just came in for AJ to play CF.

AJ has been red hot as of late.

I suspect that Seattle is getting one more player, but right now:

Price to DET
AJ to SEA
Franklin and Smyly to TAM

2011 Cy Young Award winner:  Justin Verlander
2012 Cy Young Award winner: David Price.
2013 Cy Young Award winner: Max Scherzer.
All in same rotation now.

Poor AJ was traded just so Price can wear No. 14. ;)

so you're not REALLLY saying they gutted their future are you? more like  they gutted 2015..

come on now... hyperbole much?

Cespedes is gutting your future???? with 1 year left?

I want to understand where you're coming from because I will fully admit I'm not baseball expert but.....

yeah, that's EXACTLY what i'm saying. i don't think you realize they gave up one of the top prospects in baseball (addison russell, a stellar SS), billy mckinney (former 1st round pick), and dan staily (might be a decent #3 one day)  just to land shark.  i believe they lose a draft pick to boston for lester.  by all means, they're gutting their future for 2014.  lester is gone after this season, and they've traded away addison russell, billy mckinney, and dan staily, players who project to be above average, they are cheap, and the would be playing in 2015 and on.

I can't believe Seattle took Ajax. I can't believe Tampa didn't insist on Porcello. There has alot of people leaving Detroit's farm system in this trade. That can't be all David Price went for (and under contract for another year).

With Sanchez and Porcello as the black sheep of the starting pitching staff. THINK ABOUT THAT.
