Not even enough, Souza strikes out way too much to be valuable, and Beckham is a never was.

No chance.

I think the rays would jump on it I doubt the tigers would.

This is not as bad as some might say. JD is a free agent after this year, so his value is less. Take out Beckham and make it someone else - maybe a UT guy such as Nick Franklin or a bullpen piece such as Danny Farquahr - and it might could happen.

J. D. is the type of player they should be pursuing. Rays would have to give more, but I feel it would be worth the pursuit.

After reading what others said.

What about this

Tigers get:
SP/ RP Drew Smyly
IF Jake Cronenworth (24th TB pros. )
OF Steven Souza

Rays get:
SP Kyle Ryan or PTBNL (mid prospect)
OF Jd Martinez

This way the tigers get an emmidiate jd replacement plus a pitcher they once had and can revert him back to the bullpen and be the top choice as an emergency starter. Plus a IF prospect who is from Michigan and is effective and once was a reliever.

The rays get JD to help the low power hitting team and OF and a pitcher to be named which could be kyle ryan whos from florida and replace smyly who also can be in the bullpen and emergency starter.

This trade idea is better. They might listen at least on this trade.

I doubt the Rays deal a decent SP for one year of JD.
