July 23, 201213 yr Jon Morosi �@jonmorosi #Tigers acquire Infante and A Sanchez from Marlins Wow. Lts hope we got Turner or Castellanos and others. This is the start of hopefully a couple of deals. Edit- The deal is Infante and Sanchez for Turner, good catching prospect named Rob Brantley, and a LHP named Brian Flynn who was a 7th round pick last year. Brantly is a really nice prospect too!
July 23, 201213 yr #Marlins completing a deal with #Tigers Anibal and Omar for Jacob Turner http://joefrisaro.mlblogs.com/
July 23, 201213 yr Author great deal. love it. wasn't sure about adding infante to the deal because he is under contract for next year but we got a future ace and others.
July 23, 201213 yr Author according to Peter Gammons its a really nice catching prospect named Rob Brantly and a 7th rounder from last year named Brian Flynn. Great trade.
July 23, 201213 yr Anyone care to fill me in on turner # 22 prospect baseball entering year. Projects to be a 2/3, reasonable mid projection a dependable 3. 21 years old, probably needs AAA this year and MLB ready next year. He's going to look great with Fernandez long term. This is very exciting
July 23, 201213 yr Yeah I'm good with this deal. Neither player was going to be around for long, but Turner's a good acquisition long-term.
July 23, 201213 yr Andrew miller was consider a future ace Sadly there are similarities between andrew miller and turner
July 23, 201213 yr Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that the Tigers have acquired right-hander Anibal Sanchez and second baseman Omar Infante from the Marlins. The Marlins are expected to acquire 21-year-old right-hander Jacob Turner as part of the deal. Sanchez has a 3.94 ERA and 110/33 K/BB ratio over 121 innings this season and further strengthens the Tigers' rotation. The Tigers have been hurting for production at second base all season, so Infante should be a major upgrade. Turner is a pretty good get for the Marlins, as Sanchez will be a free agent following the season.
July 23, 201213 yr Im not seeing we got anyone else other than Turner. Dont know much about Turner, is this for a long term gain or are they still trying to shake things up for a final push?
