Tigers Get:
- Gleyber Torres
- Jacoby Ellsbury (taking on whole contract)

Yankees Get:
- Matt Manning
- Michael Fulmer
- Tarik Skubal
- Kody Clemens

Toyed around with this one on the Baseball Trade Values Simulator.

Tigers acquire a big bat in Torres to be the centerpiece of their organization along with top prospects Mize and Greene and do so by taking on the contract of Ellsbury to give Yankees more flexibility to make pushes for Cole/Strasburg/Wheeler. Ellsbury also serves as a decent veteran presence for the young Tigers who could use anyone in the outfield that can hit.

Yankees acquire two top notch pitching prospects in Manning and Skubal who are both on the MLB Top 100 list and the top 10 lists for righty and lefty pitchers respectively. Also get a still young and controllable Fulmer who should return around the all-star break for the Yankees and still has a chance to return to his RoY form. Clemens is a good middle infield prospect who is the son of Roger Clemens and could hit 30 homers a season with the short porch in Yankee Stadium while playing second.

There is no shot that the Yanks trade Gleyber. Maybe switch Andujar for him and lessen the return.

There's not a combination of players the Tigers could move to acquire Gleyber Torres.

Good news, CubanFan,

The Tigers can now have Jacoby Ellsbury and give up nothing for him. Congrats.
