Trade Deadline Deals thread for Tigers

[SpartyNash]

Hell of a deadline. Still have Liriano, Iglesias, Fiers, Green. I’d trade any of them for a bag of balls. D grade.

Got a pretty decent prospect for Martin. I wouldn’t be shocked if we don’t have at least 1 August trade.

after doing a little research on him it appears that he isn't total garbage. One site had him as their #7 prospect. It said he has a little pop, can steal some bases but sounds like he is shitty defensively (25 errors in each of the past 2 seasons)

A shitty SS is a 3B.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Looking further his glove has improved this year, though range is worst, and his hitting stinks.

 

[Rebbiv]

looks like nobody thought Saupold is MLB worthy...he's back with the Tigers & in the minors.

Which would have been the same with Josh Smoker, if it wasn't for DET.

 

[gotime909]

I see Castro is slotted at #10 in our prospect rankings. Pretty good job by Al for having nothing of value.

 

[tigermud]

Shawn Kelley might available.

DFA for slamming a glove? Jeez, talk about overkill.

In these times offensive carries more weight than defense. It's dumb but baseball has been dumb for a while.

No doubt, 2 more middle infielders that can't hit, and chase pitches out of the strikezone, with low obp. or pitchers that have high walk rates and high whip.
