it'd be six years older or so... we have him under a pretty extensive, cheap contract. hell, if he becomes nothing but a dominant closer, he still is comically underpaid.

He signed a extension before the season

A ticket vendor weighing in on fanbases? Stark must have completely forgot he had a deadline coming up for a submission. It's a play by play take on some stupid PR release so the ticketing company can get free advertising and mentioned by people picking up on this "soft" news.

The ticket vendor probably bought an advertisement with ESPN beforehand and Stark got assigned the job of turning it into a "story".

@jaysonst: Asked an exec of a team interested in Johnny Cueto if they saw anything to be alarmed about in his start Sunday. He said: "Yes. Everything."

Someone tweeted at Andy Mculough asking if the royals have the resources to make a push for David Price. He said yes and expects them to make a push.

Don't see an inter division trade happening.

Kansas City Royals: The Royals are an obvious suitor for Cespedes with Alex Gordon (groin) expected to miss most of the rest of the season and Alex Rios (68 OPS+) being so unproductive. Cespedes has struck out in 20.9 percent of his plate appearances this year, which is more than the contact happy Royals would probably like (their team strikeout rate is a miniscule 15.6 percent), but having one player in the lineup with a league average strikeout rate wouldn't be the end of the world. Kansas City shouldn't sit tight just because they have a comfy 5 1/2 game lead in the AL Central.

Long-term, it would be in the Tigers' best interest to be the direct beneficiaries of depleting some of KC's talent. In this way, trading a pending FA to a divisional foe makes the most sense.

Forgot he was a FA, i assume we all would rather go for price instead of cueto

That's what Oakland said too. It didn't work out for them so well.

EDIT: Actually it was the Red Sox who they traded him for, not Oakland. I was confoooosed. Nonetheless, still don't understand that trade. The trade is what didn't work out for Oakland, may have been better off with Cespedes.

duncan_idaho 07-21-2015 10:31 AM
If the Tigers end up selling, they HAVE to sell Cespedes, because he isn't re-signing there and they would get no compensation for him because of his deal.

Because of that, they're going to get a pretty meagre return, but it's better than getting nothing for him.

Price has more value because they could keep him and give him a qualifying offer...

But if the Royals offered them:

Miguel Almonte (who debuted in Omaha the other night and turned in a 5 inning, 1 hit, 1 walk, 8 k gem - now able to use his plus-plus changeup again)

Jorge Bonifacio

Brandon Finnegan

Pedro Fernandez/Cody Reed...

There's a good chance the Tigers 1-4 rated prospects at the start of next season read like this:

Miguel Almonte
Jorge Bonifacio
Brandon Finnegan
Fernandez/Reed

Not sure that would be enough, but it does say a lot about how barren Detroit's farm system is.
