Tigers in a 3 way deal with redsox + whitesox

[motownwebguy]

I believe Boston is giving up a minor leaguer or two.
Losing Ortega should mean we get somebody from Boston's minor league. I thought Ortega was eventually headed to Detroit. He has value in trade.

Where r u guys getting this info. From about our minor leaguers

Giving away Ortega is a plus. I would have given him away for nothing.

CBS sports says 2 minor prospects from Boston are heading to Chicago, but maybe they are actually being split 1 to us and 1 to the Sox.

They have no report yet on Villarreal or Ortega being included.

 

[motownwebguy]

Now it appears Boston is sending two prospects to Chicago.

We gave up alot for Jose Iglesias. He may hit better in Comerica Park than Fenway. Fingers crossed.

again, from twitter:

"hey guys remember when everyone hated the Granderson trade and 4 years later it's fucking amazing for the Tigers? DD knows his stuff."

 

[kalinecountry]

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.

 

[spockmaster]

No Ortega either. Great trade.

I'd have rather it was Ortega than Villarreal though. Oh well, I'm happy with it.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Am I missing something but this is the Ortega that has career ml walk per 9 innings ratio of 6.2?

So we get Iglesias and no prospects, is that correct?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Too bad we couldn't figure a way to get Coke in that deal.

 

[motownwebguy]

Now it looks like Ortega stays in Detroit's franchise. We lose Garcia and Villarreal for Jose Inglesias.

 

[biggunsbob]

Did we get anybody else? Seems like we get the worst of it in my opinion .. I guess they like Dirks over Garcia..Guess this answers the SS concern.. Seems like a steep price..

That appears to be all the players in the 3 way trade.

Well Rosenthal called Iglesias the favorite for AL ROY. that's something I guess.

 

[motownwebguy]

Boston will receive Villarreal and Peavy, while Iglesias will go to Detroit. The White Sox will receive Garcia and Rondon as well as minor league right-handers J.B. Wendelken and Francellis Montas."

I think that means Chicago likes Garcia more than Dirks. Can't blame them really.

 

[spockmaster]

We got the best player in the deal (including Peavy, IMO). I love this trade.

Iglesias is hitting .330 though, mostly singles 4 for his last 40 surely Lloyd will get him going!

Yes time for another beer
