Originally posted by tjfla View PostYa Infante deal was done last week
Deal was to be Infante for Brantly/another prospect then decided wanted Anibal too
Reason why draft picks were included was because Detroit is NOT gonna resign Anibal,so they get something back for trading Turner(Comp Pick)

Originally posted by dim View PostThere were reports that Detroit soured on Jacob Turner a lot over the last few months. Plus, they're in a pennant race. Sometimes teams make trades they regret later for the present (see Adrian Gonzalez for Urbina).
Better example is the Bagwell deal by the Red Sox.God would be expecting a first pitch breaking ball in the dirt because humans love to disappoint him.

That is pretty weird.
As for the Adrian Gonzalez thing, that's different in hindsight. We had Jason Stokes at the time who was supposed to fill that spot in the future.
Turner was Detroit's best pitching prospect. Not sure as I haven't really checked, but I think he was listed as their best overall prospect.
Weird that all it took to get a guy like that was Anibal Sanchez, especially if they have no intentions of re-signing Anibal. I figured adding Infante played a part in them including Turner.

Well they will probably try however Dombrowski said that is the reason they wanted the Comp Round 1 pick.
Said something along the lines of He will probably leave and without the Comp Picks this year we wanted to get something in return,which is why we asked for the pick

Yes, that's why they wanted the comp pick in the trade.
I get that they're contending but that's not really a risk you take for an Anibal Sanchez, who's not even an ace. Probably not even a #2 in the American League, especially with the Tigers terrible defense.
I don't care about the Tigers plans; I just think it's pretty weird to give up your best pitching prospect (who's close to big-league ready supposedly) for a couple of months of Anibal Sanchez and a comp. pick.

Here is what he said
As Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski tells it, the Tigers wanted the Marlins' pick in the deal, especially because Sanchez might end up being just a two-month rental. In effect, Detroit wanted a free-agent compensation pick ahead of impending free agency.
