  • Trade: Infante, Sanchez to Detroit, Turner to Miami

    The Tigers have addressed their two most pressing needs with one trade, acquiring Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez from the Marlins in a deal that will send top pitching prospect Jacob Turner to Miami. Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports first reported the trade, which suggests the Marlins are willing to look to 2013 and beyond following a disappointing 44-51 start to the season (on Twitter).

      The Marlins rarely keep winning. They treaded water in 2003 except for June, July, and September, were on the brink of elimination vs. the Cubs, then had a 7-2 finish to win it all. If they lose that series, they're just forgotten like the 2007 D'backs.

      DB: Isn't he in Japan right now?
      JM: I don't know where Lou is right now. He's probably fleeing the authorities [laughs].

          Yeah he was getting hit pretty hard before he got traded but coming to the American League probably wont help him out to much. The Marlins might have done a smart thing unloading him.
