The Detroit Tigers added some help for their shaky bullpen Monday, acquiring reliever Jose Veras from the Houston Astros

shilala · 07-29-2013, 11:39 AM

I heard the Rangers might be willing to sell high on Joe Nathan. The Tigers need to win right now. This year or next, for sure. If there's anything left in the coffers, they need a closer. Period.
With Smiyley and Veras, they're on the way. One more piece and they have a good shot.
I wish I knew what happened to Valverde. He's either lost his mojo completely or he's hiding an injury and he's a wrap. Regardless, I never see him becoming effective again. It's a shame.

icehog3 · 07-29-2013, 01:19 PM

I would be shocked to see the Rangers make that deal with an AL contender, but I guess anything for the right price, eh Scott?

I don't know where the Rangers sit right now, but if they've decided they can't make a run at the pennant, anything can happen. Lots of trades don't make much sense nowadays, they seem a lot more economics driven than competition driven.

They are 6 out, Scott, but right in the thick of the Wild Card race.

As a Rays fan, I am not an Ortiz or Red Sox fan. I think that he should be fined for that outburst in the dugout. What do you guys think? I just think he gets a pass cause he's big papi. He was tied to steroids but swore it wasn't him and everyone dropped it. Any other player do what he did and I think it's a fine.

icehog3 · 07-29-2013, 04:16 PM

If the team wants to fine him, cool. I don't think the League should get involved.

Nice call at home plate in the TB / RS game .. god that guy is a hack. Two game swing because of that bad call.

Quote:

Meals admitted his error to a pool reporter after the game.

“What I saw was: [Jose] Molina blocked the plate and Nava’s foot lifted,” Meals said. “But in the replays, you could clearly see Nava’s foot got under for a split second and then lifted, so I was wrong on my decision. From the angle I had, I did not see his foot get under Molina’s shin guard.”

WEEI reporting that Lee and Young close to being traded to Boston, hope this doesn't cost us heavy in prospects.

AdamJoshua · 07-30-2013, 09:18 PM

Breaking news..... In a three-way,José Iglesias from Boston to Detroit, Peavy to Boston, Detriot sends Chicago their best prospect. Heard this from a friend a few minutes before it started hitting the wires, he never let's me down.

The only thing that could make this better is if MLB suspended Afraud for this year and next, but not lifetime so they MFYs still ahd to pay him.

I really think Detroit got the better end of this deal. With Peralta getting up there in age, Iglesias is the perfect back-fill to their SS issue. Even though Peralta is having a killer year, the Biogenesis issue is looming over him. I really can't believe Boston gave him up.

icehog3 · 07-30-2013, 09:44 PM

I heard the "prospect" is Avasaill Garcia

AdamJoshua · 07-30-2013, 10:17 PM

Looks like there are 2 or 3 more prospects coming from the Red Sox but not sure who or where they are going.

shilala · 07-31-2013, 09:22 AM

Now if Detroit could trade Iglesias to the Rangers for Joe Nathan, they'd have something.
Granted, they can use Iglesias, but that's not what's gonna make them win this year or next, which they need to do before their owner passes.
Once Ilitch is gone, anything can happen to the Tigers. None of it likely to be good.

Whether the Rangers would sell to the Tigers is another thing, but they want a bat. Bad.

357 · 07-31-2013, 12:46 PM

Iglesias is insurance for this year and the future SS for years to come. Peralta is on the list likely to be suspended. He's also on the last year of his deal. Tiger's couldn't take the chance of getting stuck with Danny Worth as their starting SS on a WS run.

I love both moves. Gacria is going to be a good player for Chicago. Deceptive speed for his size and a good bat.

icehog3 · 07-31-2013, 02:00 PM

Rumor is Peralta is going to get 50 games today or tomorrow, so Iggy will be much needed this season.

shilala · 07-31-2013, 04:11 PM

That sucks, Tom. It still tweaks me that they only came up with Braun's 65 games and didn't cast the rest of the suspensions at the same time. I think they wanted to single him out because of his last go-round and let the media feast on him a bit.
If A-rod is gonna get 100 games, it would have been nice for the Yankees if he could have started serving them already.
I guess all this PED stuff just upsets me. Not that they use it, cause I'm a firm believer that everyone uses something to get and edge, whatever it may be. It's the never-ending saga of stench that comes with it. I liked it way better when nobody cared.

Then you have this thing hanging over the trade deadline. It should have been resolved prior so teams could make necessary moves. Obviously the Tigers knew? I haven't seen a list of players or penalties expected, so I'm guessing there's teams that'll get stung and have no way to replace players, and that ain't right.

AdamJoshua · 07-31-2013, 04:17 PM

I am hoping that they ban AFraud for the next season but not a lifetime ban, that way the MFY (for you of those that don't know that's Mother F***ing Yankees) still have to pay him his contract

Braun had a big mouth when he knew he was guilty, he got off easy the first time and should have kept his mouth shut, but he went big and loud after they let him slide, that was his mistake, if you are wrong and you get a free pass it's best to shut your mouth.

I think the only time no one cared was before it was so rampant, but now if the younger kids want to make the bigs they have to compete or supplant the current major league players and the only way to do that is juice along with them.

As opposed to the CSB (for you of those that don't know that's C0ck Sucking Bosox)

icehog3 · 07-31-2013, 04:24 PM

I agree with you, Scott....they all have an edge, some get caught, some don't.

good riddance to Peavy
