Red Sox acquire Jake Peavy

[bloodbrother]

3 team deal with BOS/DET/CHW

 

Boston gets Jake Peavy and Brayan Villareal

 

Chicago gets Avisail Garcia and 3 prospects who I don't know a thing about, but aren't any of Boston's premiere prospects

 

Tigers get Jose Iglesias

 

Boston's GM is quickly putting his name in the mix for top GM's. They successfully sold high on Jose Iglesias, who, while fantastic with the glove, is noted to be pretty damn poor with the bat. He got off to an insane start but he is not a good hitter. Sold him to a team who bought into his .330 BA and used him as the main piece to get a good pitcher. Add in they got a RP who has serious stuff in Villareal

Jose Iglesias will provide the Tigers with insurance at shortstop in the event of a Biogenesis suspension for Jhonny Peralta.

So far, the Tigers won that.

So whenever Iglesias takes over SS from Peralta, will Miggy even have to move around at 3rd anymore?

 

Which actually suits his defensive skillset there pretty well.

I like it for Detroit as well. Iglesias isn't a good hitter but they VASTLY needed improvement in their infield D. Iglesias is very good defensively, and obviously Peralta will be suspended shortly. With the bats they have, they don't need Iglesias to hit anyway

 

Boston just did well in seling high on Iglesias as the main piece to end up getting Peavy. They managed to hang onto Bogaerts, Middlebrooks and Checcini

Iglesias definitely makes the Tigers a better team. Same with Peavy and the Red Sox. 

[SoWhat]

Good trade for Boston and Detroit. Chicago got the shitty end of the deal

One of these teams got a steal. I'll tell you which one in 3 years.
