Blockbuster trade being talked about Yankees-Tigers-Arizona

jcmint · Dec 7, 2009

Sources: Yanks have discussed big trade — 10:46 p.m.

This would be a blockbuster.

The Yankees, Diamondbacks and Tigers have discussed a three-way trade that would send Tigers center fielder Curtis Granderson to New York and right-hander Edwin Jackson to Arizona, major-league sources say.

The talks are at an impasse, according to one source. The proposed deal is being pushed by the D-Backs, but was rejected by at least one of the two other teams, the source says.

While trade talks are fluid and the names involved could change, sources say the following scenario is under discussion:

• The Yankees would receive Granderson from the Tigers and one or two prospects from the Diamondbacks.

• The Diamondbacks would get Jackson from the Tigers and right-hander Ian Kennedy from the Yankees.

• The Tigers would get right-hander Max Scherzer from the Diamondbacks, and center fielder Austin Jackson and left-handed relievers Phil Coke and Michael Dunn from the Yankees. -- Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi

Interesting. Chances of it actually happening? 10%? 0?

I think the Yanks would be getting an awesome deal here.

MUCH better than Hughes/Jackson for Granderson. I would LOVE this trade.

Not so much of a good deal for the tigers

Brett Keith · Dec 8, 2009

This seems like a lateral move for the D-Backs, Scherzer and prospects for Jackson and Kennedy? Unless they really believe Kennedy can be a mid-rotaton starter, doesn't seem to make sense.

I would be all for it.

All we basically give up is our potentially All-Star caliber CF for an All-Star caliber CF. Relievers can be replaced.

I just do not see Kennedy fitting in the big picture in NY.

The deal would send Curtis Granderson to the Yanks, along with a prospect or two from the D'Backs. Arizona would obtain Edwin Jackson from the Tigers and Ian Kennedy from the Yankees. The Tigers would obtain Max Scherzer from the D'Backs and Austin Jackson, Phil Coke and Michael Dunn from the Yanks."

From the Tigers perspective it all boils down to.. in my opinion, of course..

Max Scherzer > Edwin Jackson (Just a personal opinion)
Austin Jackson, Phil Coke, and Michael Dunn < Curtis Granderson

Pretty strong deal. I think New York needs the extra prospects considering they're essentially giving up Austin Jackson, Ian Kennedy, Phil Coke, and Michael Dunn for Curtis Granderson.

From the Diamondbacks perspective..

Max Scherzer > Edwin Jackson (Again, just a personal opinion)
Two prospects (Fringe prospects I'm guessing?) < Ian Kennedy

I think the Diamondbacks are getting the short end of the stick, if anyone. I do prefer Scherzer over Jackson though. I'm sure some don't.

It would not surprise me if the Dbacks did trade Max. ::facepalm::

craiger122003 · Dec 8, 2009

So essentially you are giving up Scherzer who is really cheap and decent for
Edwin? and Kennedy? ::facepalm::

Y4NK335 · Dec 8, 2009

According to Joel Sherman, the Tigers were the team unsatisfied with the talks.

rbrownaz · Dec 8, 2009

Can't see the Dbacks going ahead with this unless they really believe Jackson is an upgrade on Scherzer (who is younger and under team control longer). Dbacks need pitching bad though, and giving up one starter for possibly two (assuming the prospects aren't too high end) could work in their favor. Personally, I wouldn't want to see this trade get done. Scherzer is an upgrade on Jackson (opinion) and hasn't yet had a chance to pitch a season where innings aren't an issue.

I highly doubt teams would make these deals for Yankees crap...

Please inform me but Am I missing something here? Max Scherzer is what 25/26? and I know his ERA was over 4.00 in the NL..... So please fill me in, why are they so hesitant to trade Max?

All comments would be helpful, Thanks.

Because a 4+ ERA turns into a sub 3 ERA in the AL.

Oh wait, thats not right,

a 4+ ERA turns into a 5+ ERA in the AL

Maybe the NL is full of dog lovers?

Or maybe its because he looks like a Husky :?:

And that's what I thought too..... I don't like the sound of this deal at all! being a tigers fan, Now I really like Ajax though.

FYI- That's a nasty Jeter my friend :!: :!: :!: But to be honest I would sell.... Have you decided what your going to do with it?

Why wouldn't they be hesitant? He's young, very talented, cheap, cheap for a while and has had success in the bigs already, despite pitching in a hitter friendly park with a bad defense. There's nothing in this proposed deal that is worth moving him for, that's why I imagine they're hesitant.
