July 31, 201412 yr Rumor has it that it is a Detroit, TB and Minnesota Ménage a trade. Duensing is the center piece.Makes sense. Tampa doesn't have enough prospects to land Duensing by themselves.
July 31, 201412 yr Makes sense. Tampa doesn't have enough prospects to land Duensing by themselves. Yep, Duensing to Rays for Price. Correia and Willingham to Phillies for Hamels. Then we're all set!
July 31, 201412 yr Yep, Duensing to Rays for Price. Correia and Willingham to Phillies for Hamels. Then we're all set! Mmmm...that Phillies deal is a little on the light side. Do they have a centerfielder? Could we get him too?
July 31, 201412 yr Tigers get Price! Just came in via Rosenthal. Don't know particulars yet.Super Crazy day.
July 31, 201412 yr How do the Tigers do it? Every time they need an arm they get one. Well this should make Billy boy cry.
July 31, 201412 yr Tigers get Price! Just came in via Rosenthal. Don't know particulars yet.This should be interesting..... They didn't have much minor league talent to begin with. Now they've gutted whatever they had it seems.
July 31, 201412 yr Dang, if Mike Ilitch put this much effort into Little Caesar's they might make an edible pizza.
July 31, 201412 yr Tigers get Price! Just came in via Rosenthal. Don't know particulars yet. Gotta be like Scherzer to Seattle in a 3-team or something like that. Detroit doesn't have the minor league bullets to get Price by themselves
July 31, 201412 yr Let the Tigers have Price, he's a free agent after 2015 and Scherzer's a free agent next year. The Twins won't be competitve during that time, meanwhile the Tigers will have to decide which pitcher they want to give another albatros contract to for their decline years. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll give them both 7 year $200 million contracts. Edited July 31, 201412 yr by nicksaviking
July 31, 201412 yr How do the Tigers do it? Every time they need an arm they get one. Well this should make Billy boy cry.Billy on the phone with JR: "I need Duensing right now. Anything you want, just take it."
July 31, 201412 yr I just don't see it. Their system had Castellanos and Ray in the top 100 last year. Neither is exactly on par with the Wil Myers/Odorizzi package. Castellanos, Smyly, and something? I think the Rays do better in the offseason Dear IT team, Looks like I was dead wrong here, DELETE DELETE DELETE
July 31, 201412 yr Author Gotta be like Scherzer to Seattle in a 3-team or something like that. Detroit doesn't have the minor league bullets to get Price by themselves I wondered the same thing. Maybe Tigers see the writing on the wall for Scherzer in FA and move him? It'll be interesting to see if he's involved.
July 31, 201412 yr This should be interesting..... They didn't have much minor league talent to begin with. Now they've gutted whatever they had it seems. Should be interesting to see the bounty for Price. Maybe some major league talent headed back to Rays? Bet Smyly involved. Mariners involved too?

July 31, 201412 yr Sounds like Austin Jackson to Seattle and Smyly somewhere. Tampa gets Nick Franklin.
July 31, 201412 yr Austin Jackson and Smyly to Mariners with Franklin going to Rays as pieces of the puzzle.
July 31, 201412 yr Kevin Kaduk: Wow, this is crazy. Austin Jackson getting pulled with a 2-2 count with one out in the seventh. That is weird.
July 31, 201412 yr Has to be more to this trade though....Franklin isn't enough by himself. Even if Smyly goes to Tampa that probably isn't enough.
July 31, 201412 yr How is Zobrist not a part of the deal if Austin Jackson is going to the Mariners? Guess offense doesn't matter if Verlander is your fifth starter. Edited July 31, 201412 yr by LaBombo
July 31, 201412 yr How is Zobrist not a part of the deal if Austin Jackson is going to the Mariners?Zobrist to the Pirates.
July 31, 201412 yr Just saw a good tweet: Smyly and Franklin to Tampa hardly means the Rays are giving up on their 2014 comeback bid either.
July 31, 201412 yr Ha, MLBTR keeps crashing. Can't wait to see what's going on here. No way is Smyly and Franklin the best Tampa could do.
July 31, 201412 yr I thought Seattle was getting Smyly? Pretty disappointing if the only trade the Twins make is Fuld.
July 31, 201412 yr The Trade Deadline has passed... let's see if anything surfaces for the Twins.I heard that the Lester and Price trades are just the opening acts for the Twins trade that is going to trickle in in the next few minutes.
