J.D. Martinez was huge in this deal happening. I'm not sure what I think of him long term (career wise), but in the short term everything he's doing seems legit. All the numbers suggest it's not a fluke so far. It would be a huge steal if the Tigers just randomly picked him up in the spring for literally nothing, and he keeps producing at the level he has been.

IF Dombrowski (Tigers GM) ever travels to Tampa for ANY reason (Isn't their Spring camp nearby?), he should handcuffed the second he exits the Plane!
And you just know that this deal is one that upsets other GMs too, even if they can't re-sign MadMax...

If you look at his prior years numbers, everything says his production this season has been a fluke...

10000% True. That's why I'm not sold on him long term for his career. As far as this year, all the numbers behind the numbers say he's legit at the moment. Plus, it's on record everywhere that he totally revamped his swing, and approach this winter.
I wonder if he's the next Carlos Gomez. A guy who never quite seems to put it all together. Then boom, finds it in a new swing.

The excuses have been coming out of the Rays saying this was the best they could get. I honestly can't believe that. If the Sox could get Craig and Kelly for Lackey the Rays definitely could've gotten more. Wouldn't those guys look good in Rays uniforms? Solid major league talent at reasonable dollars with a lot of years of control? The Rays flat out blew it.

They don't trade him, you still have a year or so to get more for him! Dopes!
