Holy smokes, that trade is colossally stupid. It is hard to overestimate the damage this is going to do to the Tigers in 2014. This trade is approaching Jermaine Dye-bad.

@ChrisCotillo: Possible package: Steve Lombardozzi, Robbie Ray and Ian Krol to #Tigers for Fister. #Nationals
If true, then Dombrowski got WORKED. Nationals confirm the deal, what a steal for them.

I thought Dombrowski was smarter than this. That trade is flat-out stunning.

I'm not sure about 5 wins, but the Royals chances are definitely looking better in the AL Central tonight.

Is Detroit making those strange moves in order to free up $ for Cano? I mean, it makes no sense to trade away a major asset for that kind of a terrible haul....
But one has to wonder....

Krol looks like a middling lefthanded reliever. Ray is an OK relief prospect who might be a weapon eventually. I'm not a big Fister fan, but that's a amazingly stupid trade. Especially since they probably could have gotten the same for Rick Porcello, who is inferior to Fister.

I'll reserve judgement until I see what Detroit does the rest of the off-season. They could end up signing Santana or something with all the money they've been dumping. But things are lining up nicely right now for the Royals to make a real run for the division.

I honestly can't see them outbidding NY's offer....

Actually, that last tweet might be sort of hinting at that, if "flexibility" = $$$. Even so, I don't think that they can buy the wins they lost with the few million they are saving, much less buy even more wins.

I still think Illich is dumping to sell the team.
The guy just doesn't have enough time left on this earth for straight salary dumps to make sense. He could lose $50 million/yr and still be a billionaire when he dies.

Even though they were so close to winning the World Series? I don't know man, they were close, and if they kept Fielder and the same guys, add some quality players by depth, they could make a good run for it in the 2014 season.
