Also, notice that Banda's twitter only says Diamondbacks to *present*, not *future*.

Know anything about them? I don't.

Trade official. No cash in deal. #DBacks assume balance of Martinez’s $11.75M salary.

It's not a bad trade from a value standpoint, but I'm guessing the Martinez market was less hopping than I expected.

3B/SS Dawel Lugo was #DBacks’ No. 4 prospect, per @MLBPipeline. SS Sergio Alcantara No. 15. SS Jose King not in top 30. All go to #Tigers.

This seems like a very light return for JD Martinez even as a rental; I don't think Arizona gave up any of their... http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0679099722480230219-4 …

Maybe one of those three short stops will pan out.....

Avila said Lugo was the main piece for them. Third baseman. Good glove, good bat. Going to Erie. Two years away.

ss/3b dawel lugo was ranked among the dbacks' top 5 prospects, as high as 2nd. key to the deal for deroit. package was solid.

JD did a pretty emotional interview in the dugout. I feel for the guy, he really didn't want to leave.

General consensus from three scouts who recently have canvassed the D-backs' system: The Tigers' return for J.D. Martinez was very light.

Who knows on the prospects. Everyone thought Ray sucked too and he turned out pretty well for the next team. Can't forget the $5 million too, it might help them pass on another weak deal.

Sounds like Frazier and Robertson to the Red Sox

I respect Gage's opinion in general but wonder how well he knows young prospects.

As was said loudly: Fans weren't going to be happy with what was coming back in these Tigers deals. Not in this market. Tonight was proof.

I agree with that but none of these guys are even top 100 prospects overall

[steveschneider]

Going to be really sad if they let go of Verlander for a small return.

Here's to hoping in 3-4 years we are competitive buyers again.

[steveschneider]

We should put the word meltdown in the thread title.

[The Pantry]

So, the back tightness thing last night was complete bullshit.

Sad to see JD go.

[Guest]

If the best prospect is the 3B at AA, that puts him in the majors in 1-2 years. Time to either move Casty to the OF or trade him just as he gets expensive.

Should probably move Nick to first

I don't think his value is high at all. Streaky and poor fielder.

[DWags]

Fuck you Tigers. I wish I didn't love you. Bitch ass fucking slut dick holes.

Next three years it's gonna be easy picking up cheap secondary tickets in the summer. So, at least I got that going for me.

Fuck you Tigers.

The Tigers should probably draft another shortstop, just in case.

This. Jeez, I wanna see another Tigers WS title before I'm too old to run naked down Michigan Ave from Detroit to Dearbern.

Deal is done.

White Sox are loaded now. Saw a tweet they have something like 10% of the top 100 prospects.

Looks like Red Sox are looking for a 3rd basemen. Not sure they'd take Nick. The way he's hitting right now probably want to hold onto him.

Henning: Trade market changes and Tigers pay for it

Wojo: J.D. Martinez trade heralds Tigers’ regretful rebuild

Tigers weigh closer options if Justin Wilson is dealt

Here’s a look at the newest Tigers prospects

I'd dump him in a heartbeat.

[kingstonlake]

The Alcantara kid puzzles me. Who gives a damn about another slick Fielding middle infielder with good glove and no stick. MLB is littered with them. There wasn't a project with some upside available? A pitcher with a big arm, a kid with a big bat?
