Detroit/Arizona

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

After a little back and forth the Tigers & D-Backs have come to agreement on the following trade...



Detroit gets:
   Triston McKenzie, SP, Indians.  2019/0.2M  Prospect
   Eli White, 2B/SS, Rangers.  2019/0.2M  Prospect
   1st Round Pick #29 2020 draft (formerly owned by Red Sox)


Arizona gets:
   Taylor Trammell, LF, Reds.  2019/0.2M  Prospect
   Franklin Perez, SP, Tigers.  2019/0.2M  Prospect
   1st Round Pick #2 2020 draft


This was a tough deal to make in giving McKenzie, a top 50 prospect and a Tribe guy we have coveted for so long...but felt the time and the deal was right. White is also a quality prospect who is close to getting a shot at the MLB level. The kicker was the #2 overall pick in the draft. Unless we suddenly become stupid, this should assure us a high quality prospect...or maybe a couple high end prospects closer to the bigs in a deal. Either way, it made sense for us to do this deal considering our needs.

Thanks to Roger of the Pirates for sticking with this long enough to get it done and making the negotiations enjoyable.

Hated moving the number 2 but i have pitching needsand mckenzie is a high ceiling soon to make it to the show. Outfield is strong so trammell was able to be dealt although a nice talent and high ranking prospect. Aside from pitching need the tigers feel eli white could be a very nice versatile piece wno also soon should get his calling as he progesses with his bat.good luck dbacks

Good talks with trade donnie as well as our other discussions about where lifes paths has taken us. Such a small world sometime. Best always
