I like this move for both teams. Texas has had a hole at 1B for a while, and they had to trade one of Kinsler/Adrus/Profar. Detroit could not keep Miggy at 3rd for much longer, plus they fill their 2nd base need and Castellanos can man 3rd.
I don't like A-Rod, but what Selig is trying to do is ********. A-Rod should get a 60 game suspension, the same as everyone else. This whole story about him getting other players to buy PEDs is a complete fabrication.
There is no way he would have signed with us for 1/10. I don't think any amount of money would get him to sign back here. The 14 mil qualifying offer was our only chance.
Ditto. I was just telling my dad today that AA should be trading Bautista to offload salary and get a decent return, but that there was NO WAY he would have the guts to do it.
I would do this trade in a heartbeat and never look back. We get rid of 30 million in salary, and get some great young players. Only problem would be that we have no SS, but its still worth doing the trade.
