Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

[kalinecountry]

July 31 in Tigers and mlb history:

1914 - Red Sox owner Joe Lannin buys the Providence Grays (IL) and Melrose Park from the Detroit Tigers for $75,000. Detroit gets to pick one player from the Providence roster and they select P Red Oldham, overlooking Carl Mays. Detroit then purchases the Buffalo (IL) team.

1916: Babe Ruth fires a two-hitter, by Ty Cobb and George Burns, for a 6 - 0 win for the Red Sox over the Tigers.

1942 - Charlie Gehringer’s final career home run is a pinch-hit homer in the bottom of the ninth. Detroit loses, though; the homer run just turns a 7-4 deficit into a 7-6 loss.

1959 Al Kaline hits the first of two career inside the park home runs.

1961 - The 2nd All-Star Game of 1961 ends in a 1 - 1 tie at Fenway Park. Rocky Colavito homers for the American League run. Heavy rains end the exhibition after nine innings.

1981 - The fifty-day old baseball strike is settled as owners and players agree on a pooling system for free agent compensation. The All-Star game will mark the end of baseball's first-ever mid-season work stoppage.

1996: The Dodgers obtain OF Chad Curtis from the Tigers in exchange for pitchers Joey Eischen and John Cummings. Curtis will lead off in place of the cancer-stricken Brett Butler.

1996 - The Tigers trade Cecil Fielder to the Yankees for a minor leaguer and Ruben Sierra.

2005 - Detroit sends Kyle Farnsworth to Atlanta.

2011: Two of the best pitchers in the American League face each other, as Detroit's Justin Verlander faces off against Los Angeles' Jered Weaver, both looking for their 15th win. Verlander takes a no-hitter into the 8th inning, while Weaver loses his cool after Carlos Guillen hits a 7th-inning homer; he throws a pitch over the head of the next batter, Alex Avila, and is ejected. Verlander and the Tigers prevail, 3 - 2.

Tigers in a 3 way deal with redsox + whitesox.

http://fullcount.weei.com/sports/bos...re-jake-peavy/
RED SOX WORKING ON THREE-WAY DEAL WITH WHITE SOX, TIGERS TO ACQUIRE JAKE PEAVY.
If Iglesias is in a three-way deal with DET, White Sox... sure smells like Tigers think Peralta is about to get suspended.

It appears Tigers are getting Jose Iglesias as part of White Sox-Red Sox trade.
Danny Knobler

question is, who gets traded from Tigers.

Preparing for Peralta suspension probably.
Report from @jwagnerblade says the Tigers' front office had Avisail Garcia removed from the game in Toledo tonight. http://

Avisail is going to whitesox?

This makes sense if the reports of Peralta agreeing to take an immediate suspension are true.

Avisail Garcia profiles out to 20HR 80RBI bat..not more; Iglesisas a great defender because of hands/angles/feet but not great range bat avg.
Iglesias won't turn 24 until next January. Cuban native, plays SS and 3B. Not arbitration-eligible until 2016.

Can confirm reports of Peavy coming to Red Sox and Iglesias as part of deal. Also, there is at least one other player Red Sox are dealing.

Iglesias is very, very solid value in return for Avisail Garcia. Young shortstop under team control for years and years.
Jhonny is a free agent at season's end. Iglesias would be under team control through at least 2017.

From Tigers release: "(Iglesias) has compiled a .979 fielding percentage playing shortstop, third base and second base for the Red Sox."
He was named the AL Rookie of the Month for June, 2013 after batting .395 with 4 doubles, 2 triples, 1 home run and 6 RBI.

Iglesias to Tigers, 2 or 3 lesser prospects to White Sox, Det OF Avisal Garcia to White Sox, pitcher from Det also coming to Boston.
what Tigers pitcher??

Detroit RHP Brayan Villarreal may also be in this three-way Peavy deal....cafarto from boston.com

Iglesias? 231 plate appearances in majors include 24 infield singles.
.244/.296/.292 line in 916 AAA plate appearances.

from nick cafarto....From what I've been able to piece together three other Red Sox minor leaguers and Iglesias are in the deal. Villareal, a Tiger RH to Boston.

Dombrowski: Trade seemed far-fetched until shortly before game time tonight. "At 3pm, we were not seriously talking."
Tigers play at 1:00 Wednesday. Iglesias won't get from Boston to Detroit in time, apparently. No game Thursday. He'll suit up Friday.
Avisail Garcia going to Charlotte. Brayan Villarreal going to Pawtucket. Iglesias will join Tigers on Friday.

Dombrowski said scouts had VERY high praise on Iglesias, one rival exec said best COMPLETE SS since Ozzie Smith / Omar Vizquel.

Tigers Swing Big Trade, Land Jose Iglesias.
from TigsTown

Trade is official. Sent Jose Iglesias to DET for OF Avisail Garcia, Brayan Villarreal, then sent Garcia and Wendelken, Montas, Rondon to CWS for Peavy. By the way, the Rondon in the deal is NOT Bruce. I repeat, NOT Bruce.
Tigers announce deal. Jose Iglesias here. Avisail Garcia to the White Sox. Brayan Villarreal to the Red Sox. Iglesias reports Friday.
Dombrowski says he doesn't know what the trade means for Peralta right now, but feels "well protected with someone we like a great deal." Dombrowski called Jose Iglesias the shortstop of the Tigers future.
Dombrowski says "Peralta is our shortstop until 'someone' rules he's not." Noted Iglesias can play other positions.

Somebody needs to give Miguel Cabrera a hug. He is fighting a nagging injury, and now they traded away his little brother.
He lost little Miggy, but now has little Iggy.

Even after making 2 big trades last 2 days, Tigers may not be done. Still talking to Giants about LH Javier Lopez.
