Diamonbacks/Tigers

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

The Diamondbacks and Tigers have come to terms on the following trade:


Tigers get:

   Logan Warmoth, SS, TOR. 2018/0.3 - prospect

   Christian Santana, 3B, Dodgers. 2018/0.2 - prospect

   Franklin Perez, SP, Tigers. 2018/0.2 - prospect

   Desmond Lindsay, CF, Mets. 2018/0.2 - prospect



Diamondbacks get:

   Jose Iglesias, SS, Tigers. 2018/7.38M  2019/UFA

   Nolan Jones, 3B, Indians. 2018/0.2 - prospect

   Connor Wong, C, Dodgers. 2018/0.2 - prospect


I hated giving up on some of the prospects I had worked hard to get, but sometimes it's a must. Being without a SS when I got this team, and the uncertainty of FA bidding, I knew I had to go get one. Even being just a 1 year rental, he will do nicely while the franchise is rebuilding. We did manage to get 2 very good prospects in Jones and Wong to help offset the losses in our minors.

Much thanks to the Tigers GM...he made the negotiations very easy and fun. It was much appreciated.

I don’t mind giving up Iglesias, but it hurt to part with Jones and Wong. That said, Perez is a top 50 prospect and within reach of the majors on a rebuilding Tigers team. He’s got top of the rotation stuff, and stands to be a big part of my rotation soon. Warmoth was a 1st round pick last season as a top SS prospect coming out of college. Lindsay is a guy that’s had some injury problems, but has outstanding tools across the board. If he can stay healthy, he has the tools to be an impact hitter as he climbs prospect rankings. Santana, while only 18, is a guy that is catching a lot of scouts eyes after raking last season in the rookie league. Scouts are raving about his bat speed, and the ball jumps off his bat. He’s a long way out, but could be the steal of this trade. He’s still raw and has a lot of swing and miss in his swing, so he’s still a gamble, but he has the making of a middle of the order hitter and name to be watched for over the next season or 2.
