Tigers offseason to date:
Re-signed Victor Martinez to a 4 year 68 million dollar deal

Traded Devon Travis for Anthony Gose

Future moves:
1. Sign Edinson Volquez to a 2 year 12 million dollar deal
2. Sign Andrew Miller to a 4 year 32 million dollar deal
3. Sign Pat Neshek to a 2 year 8 million dollar deal
4. Sign Emilio Bonifacio to a 2 year 7 million dollar deal
5. Sign Jon Lester to a 6 year 144 million dollar deal

Start JD Martinez in right field and Gose/Davis/Bonifacio in centerfield and leftfield.

Extensions:
JD Marinez - 4 years 28 million
Rick Porcello - 5 years 55 million
Alex Avila - 2 years 10 million
Al Alburquerque - 2 years 6 million

Blockbuster trade:
Trade David Price, and Stephen Moya to the Cubs for Kris Bryant (eventually move Castellanos to the outfield) and Jorge Soler

Starting Rotation:
1. Sanchez
2. Verlander
3. Porcello
4. Volquez
5. Lester

Starting lineup:
1. Kinsler 2B
2. Davis CF
3. Cabrera 1B
4. Martinez DH
5. Martinez RF
6. Castellanos 3B
7. Avila C
8. Gose LF
9. Iglesias SS

Bench:
1. McCann
2. Bonifacio
3. Romine
4. Kelly

Bullpen:
1. Soria
2. Alburquerque
3. Miller
4. Nathan
5. Rondon
6. Krol
7. Neshek

All of this would put the Tigers payroll around 185-190 million (bump in payroll as expected)

No way they have the money for lester

2.) 17 Nov 2014
I made a mistake JD Martinez should be in left and Soler should be in right, Gose/Davis on the bench and Romine in the minors.

3.) 17 Nov 2014
Trading Price would allow them to sign Lester

4.) 17 Nov 2014
This is hilarious. They won't sign Lester. I expect Porcello to explore the market next offseason. There is no way the Cubs would trade Bryant and Soler. They can simply just wait until next offseason to sign Price, that is what the Cubs would really do that.

That trade proposal made me laugh because of the absurdity of it, but at the same time cry, at the fact, that someone thought that it was a plausible trade.

Do you know the meaning of WAR? Alex A is not worth the option let alone an extension. The Cubs are not trading either of those two players. Price is not going anywhere until the trade deadline at the earliest, They will try to sign him to an extension. Detroit has not even talked to Lester. kelly is gone and will not make the roster and neither will Romine if you sign Bonifacio. They haven't talked to Volquez so far a one year wonder. The war on this team went down with your acquistions.So you want to trade for the cubs big boys yet you didn't put them in the lineup
