Ya I don't want cespedes. Seems like a slightly better viciedo to me. Plus he's only for one year. Would rather spend the same money on melky. Boston is going to be looking for pitching in the return for him. I heard something about Boston talking to Detroit for porcello/ cespedes deal.

 

I would be very excited if Detroit got Cespedes.

Looks like Cespedes to Detroit for Porcello.

Hickory should be thrilled to hear that.

That's a great trade for Boston if so. How many years of control does Porcello have left?

Looks like just 2015. He'll be a free agent after the season.

Seems like a terrible deal for Detroit. Porcello should resign with them.

Boston also got a starting pitcher in another trade.

Sounds like Cueto to the Tigers...well maybe not. It's a reds starter.

What the f*** is going on?

 

Cespedes in Comerica will be lolworthy.

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.

Sounds like two starters from Boston which may be packaged for one of the Reds starters,, Latos would be the likely guy to me.

Sounds like Porcello for Cespedes, Alex Wilson and another pitching prospect.

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?

Ah yes forgot about that trade. Thank you.

Cespedes has release clause at end of contract so can't be made qualifying offer after '15 season as fr agt, Porcello can receive QO

 

So, Detroit doesn't have the opportunity to get a draft pick if Cespedes signs elsewhere after 2015.

Which is why a couple prospects are coming over with him.

Yep, otherwise I frankly think Porcello for Cespedes isn't a half bad deal.

 

Cespedes does some small things well that really help a team. That .751 OPS that was posted earlier is actually fairly good. I think this is a good move by Detroit to shore up their offense.

Hickory should be thrilled to hear that.

 

Porcello leaves Tigers: Good

 

Cespedes not coming to Sox: Good

For context, Adam Eaton had a .763 OPS with 1 HR last season

Detroit always making the flashy trade

And look where its got them.

Four consecutive division titles, that's pretty good in my book

Sounds like Latos is heading to the Marlins, so perhaps it is Cueto. Still dont think that the Tiggers have the prospects to get that done though, their return from the Red Sox was meh.
