    With the prospects given up, I imagine detroit is paying a decent chunk of salary

    It's done. And I'm totally good on the package. Seems like a valid trade both ways. Hopefully the Tigers are kicking some cash in.

    Let's go!

    Apparently Detroit said that was never the case. Deal completed 1 minute before deadline. Done deal.

    Actually, probably better late than early. They still have the division and the 1 seed, but I bet they paid less now than they would have a month ago.

    All the people b****ing about Luhnow last month can now stop. Luhnow did his job, as he has been doing for 6 years.

    No more Jeff Luhnow slander on this website. We are incredibly lucky that he is the man running our favorite baseball team.

    Seems like a fair deal overall. I just realized we get Kate too--Luhnow is approaching Morey status. Can someone do the classic Morey pick with Luhnow's face?

    This feels like something that could give us a much needed spark, at least in name
