Jacob Turner Traded To Miami Marlins For Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez.

Was it their 1st rounders? So if the Marlins end up with the 11th pick that goes to the Tigers and if the Tigers end up with the 23rd, that goes to the Marlins? Or was it sandwich picks (if any?)

Marlins, Tigers Make History

For the first time in draft history, teams have exchanged picks.

As part of the deal that will send Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante to the Tigers and Jacob Turner and a pair of prospects (catcher Rob Brantly, lefthander Brian Flynn) to the Marlins, the clubs swapped the picks they won in the competitive-balance lottery last Wednesday.

Designed to give small-market teams and revenue-sharing receipients additional draft picks (and thus extra bonus pool money for the first 10 rounds), the competitive-balance lottery selections are the only choices that may be traded. The Marlins gave up the last pick in the supplemental first round (currently No. 37) for the final pick in the supplemental second round (currently No. 73).

This year, the No. 37 selection had an assigned value of $1,394,300 and the No. 73 choice was worth $701,700. That's a difference of $692,600. Those values will be adjusted based on the growth of industry revenues this year, so how much exactly the Tigers added to their bonus pool and the Marlins subtracted from theirs has yet to be determined.

Competitive-balance lottery picks can't be traded more than once, so these two selections won't change hands again. The lottery choices can only be traded during a regular season, up to two hours before the draft.

As a Tigers fan I'm ok with this deal. Sanchez, and Infante help now. Especially Infante considering he's not Raburn. Anything with life is better than Raburn.

Also, while Turner could end up being good at some point, the Tigers have other guys that they can turn to just as easily. As of right now Smyly looks to be better anyway.

Also, I like that the Tigers swapped picks. They are always aggressive in drafting guys who others pass on for money reasons. You can almost bank on them picking a power arm with the pick they get.

That's where the new CBA rules change drafting though. They can't just go draft some guy and throw tons of cash at him to make him sign. They will have more of a draft budget to work with seeing as how they have the "extra" pick but still can't go over that allotment without being penalized

Good point. I forgot about that. Well, that makes the swap even better then. I just looked at the rules. They are pretty steep. More steep than I thought.

Any team that exceeds its pool by 0 to 5% must pay a 75% tax on the amount of the overage. Any team that exceeds its pool by more than 5% but less than 10% must pay a 75% tax on the amount of the overage AND loses a first round draft pick. Any team that exceeds its pool by more than 10% but less than 15% must pay a 100% tax on the amount of the overage AND loses a first round draft pick AND loses a second round draft pick. Any team that exceeds its pool by more than 15% must pay a 100% tax on the amount of the overage AND lose two first round draft picks.

Good trade for the Tigers IMO
