Marlins and Reds making progress on Latos. Tigers going after Leake or Cueto?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) David Price is signed for 2015 and they traded for Shane Greene. That's a solid top 4. Wow, I don't where my head is. I keep forgetting about guys. Verlander Price Sanchez Greene Reds Pitcher? Yeah thats pretty good.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:37 AM) 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. Verlander, Sanchez, ?, ?, ?. Ugly

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:34 AM) Anthony Gose Ah yes forgot about that trade. Thank you.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:30 AM) Sounds like a good deal for both sides. Cespedes replaces Rajai Davis, Porcello replaces Workman or Ranaudo. Both players with one year of control. Who plays CF for the Tigers? I still have Davis there. JD Martinez in RF, Cespedes in LF, Castellnos at 3B. Right?

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 47s47 seconds ago So #Marlins getting SP in trade, #Tigers getting a #Reds starter in trade per reports from @jonmorosi and @JoeFrisaro. I really hope it's Danks to the Marlins. They had "reported" interest last year.

Would you guys trade Danks for Ethier + cash given how tight we are for money? Not saying I would do it as I am not a huge Ethier fan, but strictly on needs and money standpoint.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:26 AM) 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? It should, unless they trade Ethier/Crawford maybe?

QUOTE (beautox @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:20 AM) 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. If its for Harper, then Soler, Baez and Edwards will be gone.

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 (TheTruth05 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:17 AM) I hope the scherzer bidding goes skyhigh so it's a lose-lose for Detroit No way Tigers take on Scherzer at this point if they are acquiring a Reds pitcher. I would just take the draft pick.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:14 AM) That should put them in better position to compete with the White Sox. I agree. But I have to think Castellnos (sp?) is involved. Tigers have 0 young players.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:13 AM) Sounds like Cueto to the Tigers...well maybe not. It's a reds starter. I doubt it will be Cueto unless a 3rd team is involved. Tigers do not have the pieces to acquire him. Lagos or Leake most likely.

Morosi tweeted that Tigers are going to acquire a pitcher from the Reds. Sounds like Mat Latos. My question, who the hell are they going to give up?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 10:03 PM) Zimmermann, Strasburg or Harper? Can't be someone like Ian Desmond. Harper to the Sox

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) Corey Dickerson is getting interest. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/542884089150181377 Home/Road splits...be afraid. I'd love to add Dickerson. Home/Road splits really don't matter to me in this case. I hope Hahn is in on him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) He actually wouldn't be a bad 4th OF. He is still good defensively, can run, and could come off the bench and still get a hit. But if you are playing him 140 games, i don't think that works anymore. If he was brought in for that, I would love.

I'd rather have Colby Rasmus.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:09 PM) Nightengale just mentioned the White Sox are thinking about Ichiro. Lol seriously? Kenny always gets his guy!

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 08:35 PM) Dan Hayes of CSN has mentioned Rasmus as a possible LF option still. Where did he say this?

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:05 PM) Yep, the LA / Phillies trade is what I was wondering about. If the Sox are looking for athleticism/speed then Revere would be a nice grab, if he's even available. What is Revere's contract?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 08:01 PM) Dodgers now have Kershaw/Greinke/Ryu/Heaney http://lasordaslair.com/2014/10/21/lets-st...rting-rotation/ According to this article, Zach Lee's their best internal option. Danks would still make some sense for the back end. Jayson Stark did say Lee was involved in trade with Rollins but thats speculation as nothing official has come out yet.

Dan Hayes @CSNHayes · 13m 13 minutes ago Left field, bench, relief among areas #WhiteSox still working on. http://bit.ly/1vG3PXl Colby Rasmus Emilio Bonifaco Brandon Morrow/Joe Thatcher This helps especially if Viciedo and/or Danks is traded.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 07:36 PM) Yeah, I really can't rationalize the trade at all. Especially when you factor in Haren and his 10M contract. Dodgers paying entire salary on Haren

There is a 3rd team involved with LA and PHI
