Please bare with me on this. reading all of these people thinking of trades involving trout and it's about 99% sure that he won't be traded but considering the angels have the worst farm system in all of baseball. so I think it's time to trade trout so they can fix the bad farm system and add major league ready players or top prospects

So here it goes:
DET - WAS - LAA
Tigers get:
(LAA) 3B K. Kubitza (#7 LAA prospect)
(WAS) OF Bryce Harper

Angels get:
(WAS) SP L. Giolito (#1 WAS/ MLB prospect)
(WAS) IF W. Diffo (#6 WAS prospect)
(WAS) 3B A. Rendon
(WAS) OF V. Robles (#3 WAS prospect)
(DET) SP M. Boyd
(DET) RP A. Ravenelle (#23 DET prospect)
(DET) OF A. Gose

Nationals get:
(DET) SP B. Burrows (#2 DET prospect)
(DET) SP K. Ziomek (#7 DET prospect)
(DET) RP D. Smith (#15 DET prospect)
(DET) 3B N. Castellanos
(DET) OF D. Hill (#3 DET prospect)
(LAA) OF M. Trout

Tigers do this to add another Kubitza to the farm system and potential castellanos replacement (McGehee can fill in till then or even Jacoby Jones) and they get Harper who has an agent who we all know about and is familiar with the Tigers. Harper would move to CF and help the Tigers on hitting and when his contract is scheduled for free agency in 2 years. the tigers would not have Anibal Sanchez's contract and maybe Upton too and the Tigers could afford it more at that time then the Nationals cause of the contracts for Strasburg and Scherzer

Angels would add a lot of prospects to help the worst farm system in baseball and they would get Giolito who is the #1 MLB prospect in baseball, they also add 2 more in the top 100 (Diffo and Robles) and would also add Rendon who can move to either 2B or 3B. they would also get Ravenelle who can be a future setup bullpen pitcher, Boyd can provide end of the rotation help since Wilson and Weaver are free agents and not to mention Richards out with Tommy John for a year. so Giolito could be Weaver or Wilson replacement while Boyd could too and also Gose could play until Robles can play

Nationals would get the Tigers 1st round pick from 2015 who is pitching good this year, Ziomek is yet another pitcher who can be an end of the rotation piece in the near future, Smith has good control and can potentially be the future closer, Castellanos who upped his value with how he's playing this year and can provide a young cost controlling piece for the future (replace Rendon) and Hill who is one of the fastest OF in the Minors and can be a future leadoff hitter and obviously they add Trout who is under contract for 4 more years at ($19.25 next year and $33.25 the following 3 years) which could be cheaper then what Harper could fetch so save a few to get a star who replaces a star

All 3 teams win cause Tigers add a star piece who eventually replace Miggy when he's done playing AND the Angels do get rid of Trout but they get a lot of young talented players who elevates the worst farm system to a top 10 which they can contribute in the near future AND the Nationals add Trout who replaces Harper which they both make teams win.

The package behind giolito and rendon isn't very good. Also, the tigers don't give up nearly enough to land harper. This is likely the worst trout trade I have seen so far on here.

Bro, you better be ashamed of this.

Im just proving a point. no matter what is dealt. trout is nearly untouchable and Harper has a better chance to be traded due to him having boras as an agent and make it to FA and maybe get $400 million

I posted this to show to the trout traders. just because a rumor pops up that the angels may trade trout to give them a much better farm system. it's just for something the fans to talk about

But I see Harper being a Yankee (with al that money nearly off the books (a-roid, beltran, teixiera and sabathia) . Yankees will for sure pay him like they paid a-roid.

Cookie, you have by far just posted the worst trade one here ever. 15 players in one trade, awful. The Tigers and the Angels don't have the farm system to pull of the trades. The Nationals have no reason to trade Harper right now. He is still 2 years away from free agency. He could still sign an extension, but probably not likely. I don't believe the Nationals are getting the best return they could. I don't believe much in the Tigers prospects, since most don't pan out.

But in all seriousness, the tigers are giving up next to nothing and in return getting arguably the best player in Baseball. And, Harper would take an absolutely ABSURD return even being two years away from the open market.

I'm a Tigers fan and I think this is horrible. This is beyond terrible.
