July 30, 201510 yr I'll start it. @BNightengale: MLB executives are absolutely convinced #Tigers David Price will wind up with the #Dodgers, who likely will have to part with Urias. Urias would be a hell of a get for DET for a rental
July 30, 201510 yr That would leave them with Verlander, A.Sanchez, Urias and mystery/mystery for their starting rotation. Of course, if they ended up signing the likes of Greinke or Cueto as a FA, then they'd immediately vault back into discussion as a playoff contender in 2016. You could also see them bringing back Rick Porcello for a "fixer-upper" contract (one year and option) in order to make another run at free agency like Justin Masterson attempted with the Red Sox.

July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 07:18 AM) Urias also is only 18 but progressing rapidly. Yeah, his ETA definitely wouldn't be until around the trade deadline next year...leaving the Tigers with two and one-half rotation spots to fill, essentially.

That would make sense if, you know, he didnt sign that massive albatross extension with the Red Sox.

July 30, 201510 yr Jon Heyman @JonHeymanCBS 6m6 minutes ago Manhattan, NY there's some thought dodgers are about to add alex wood as ammunition to get the big target david price @BNightengale MLB executives are absolutely convinced #Tigers David Price will wind up with the #Dodgers, who likely will have to part with Urias.
July 30, 201510 yr Author I'd still take Urias. They've proven to be able to spend big money. This pitching crop of FAs is the best in a while.
July 30, 201510 yr Author Price is an ace. But ya it'll suck. Doesn't mean Urias will turn into Pedro.
July 30, 201510 yr Alex Wood seems more likely to me, unless they're trying to GET ALL THE LEFTIES like the Sox.
July 30, 201510 yr I just don't see any chance Urias goes for 2 months of Price. How is a top 5 prospect in all of baseball worth a rental? Seems like BS to me. Edited July 30, 201510 yr by OmarComing25
July 30, 201510 yr Wow, I think I'd have rather gone for Hamels if I were the Dodgers (vs. looking at having both Price and Greinke on the market). Urias and Wood seems like a pretty steap price for PRICE. However, Dodgers aren't even a lock to make the playoffs, but if they get in the playoffs, with Price, I'd say that from a post-season perspective, I'd have them down as the favorites. Of course that is on paper. I honestly think I'd rank the Sox pretty highly if they were in the playoffs as well. I like our front of the rotation as much as any currently constructed in baseball and have faith in the back of our pen. To be frank, if we had another good outfielder who could play D, I'd have even more confidence. Note, this doesn't mean that said club would actually make the playoffs though...just saying if it did, we'd be dangerous (which has long been the approach I took from the off-season...wouldn't list us as a favorite for the playoffs, but if we got into the playoffs, I'd watch out). I would really like to see the Sox add a dynamic outfielder to the mix.
July 30, 201510 yr I really really really hope the Dodgers hold onto Wood and Urias. If the Tigers are unable to trade Price for pitching, their pitching staff is f***ed for years to come. As a Sox fan, that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I think the Dodgers keep the pitching and look to deal a few outfielders. The Dodgers can go after Price this winter and it will not cost them prospects they covet so much.
July 30, 201510 yr Yeah, that type of haul for Price would be bad for the White Sox. Mainly because I really think Julio is going to be a stud pitcher.
July 30, 201510 yr Author The more I think about, the more I think it'll a wood package back to Detroit. Just can't see them moving Urias for a couple months of Price.
July 30, 201510 yr Blue Jays going hard after Price... Jon Heyman sources: blue Jays are making a major push for david price
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:51 AM) That would put a damper on our WC dreams... And it would strengthen Detroit in the future. I'm hoping Detroit wins today and stays pat.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 2m2 minutes ago Executive involved in bidding for Price believes #BlueJays may indeed be close to landing him. “Not going to go on much longer,” he said.
July 30, 201510 yr Toronto probably feeling the heat after having scouts follow us the past week lmfao
