GGajewski18 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:17 AM) I read something yesterday that even though all these guys are in the same place, most trade discussion is still occurring through email and text. I figured. Still pretty cool though. If it were me, i'd knock on hotel room and say lets make a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I honestly think the cubs and nats will make something happen for one of their pitchers and maybe even Harper. They're one of the few teams to have the assests to make it happen and look forward to locking them up long term at market rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:19 AM) No way Tigers take on Scherzer at this point if they are acquiring a Reds pitcher. I would just take the draft pick. Between Miggy and Verlander, I really wonder if the Tigers can take on another 6 or 7 year deal, whether it is Scherzer or Price or if they do get a Reds stud. Eventually, they will have to scale back. Maybe this is just one final shot before going a little cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Dowd was saying the Dodgers wanted to get under the luxury tax because they were about to start paying dollar for dollar. How does that work? If they send all the money for Haren and Gordon to Miami, does that count towards their total or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) According to CJ Nitkowski of FOX Sports 1, Red Sox outfielder Yoenis Cespedes has been traded to the Tigers for right-handed starter Rick Porcello. Alex Wilson, a right-handed reliever, is also headed to Detroit in the deal along with a low-level minor league pitcher. The Tigers wanted to add an outfield bat and they found a good one in Cespedes, but giving up Porcello couldn't have been an easy call. Porcello had a career year in 2014 at age 25, posting a 3.43 ERA in 204 2/3 innings for Detroit. Cespedes and Porcello will both be free agents next winter. Source: CJ Nitkowski on Twitter Hope Detroit plans on scoring 7 runs a game because the pitching they have right now sucks.
