Yankees Third Team in Tigers-Diamondbacks Trade?

As something of an update to our previous post about a Tigers-Diamondbacks deal involving Edwin Jackson, Jon Paul Morosi and Ken Rosenthal report that the New York Yankees would've (and could still be) the third team that would make such a trade work.
If it all comes together, Detroit could be involved in its second Winter Meetings blockbuster deal in three years. Not all of the particulars are known, but Jackson would go to Arizona, while Curtis Granderson gets fitted for pinstripes.
Who the Tigers get in such a scenario wasn't mentioned, but Max Scherzer is the name that keeps coming up in rumors involving the D-Backs. And presumably, someone else would come from the Yankees. (Austin Jackson and Phil Hughes were the names the Tigers asked for, according to Buster Olney.)
The report at FOXSports.com says "the talks are at an impasse," as one of the teams involved in these discussions balked at the proposed deal. The D-Backs were the team pushing hard for the trade. But the guess is that the Yankees rejected the terms of the trade, which fits what Olney said on "Baseball Tonight" earlier this evening.
(via MLB Trade Rumors)
UPDATE: Morosi and Rosenthal updated their original report with details as to what each team would receive in the proposed deal.
• The Yankees would receive Granderson from the Tigers and one or two prospects from the Diamondbacks.
• The Diamondbacks would get Jackson from the Tigers and right-hander Ian Kennedy from the Yankees.
• The Tigers would get right-hander Max Scherzer from the Diamondbacks, and center fielder Austin Jackson and left-handed relievers Phil Coke and Michael Dunn from the Yankees

yep...
we have enough of those. We need position players first off.

But wasn't Hughes only a reliever...
because so many set-up men crapped out for the Yankees?
They project him as a starter.

Roughly 2:1 K:BB career starting
I think his 2008 spooked the hell out of the Yankees more than anything. 1.706 WHIP that year. He was also garbage in the playoffs this season.

I've kinda payed attention to Hughes for some strange reason...
and I really don’t trust his stuff.
My Music: Some Sorta Giant
My Blog: Inside A Head
sort of and not really
he was moved to the pen because chien-ming wang had gotten healthy for a stretch. He stayed in the pen and became their setup man because he became their best option for it.
Wang is probably done in New York
For what it’s worth.
2100 Woodward and Twitter
by john.kmiecik on Dec 7, 2009 11:54 PM EST up reply actions
Probably
That said, there’s talk that his marketing agreements in Taiwan earn him a lot more if he’s in New York, so he may take a lesser deal to stick. For the rumored 1 or 2 million, Wang would be a good gamble for most teams this offseason.
They sure screwed the pooch on that one last offseason, though. Telling him not to rehab from Lisfranc because it could be risky was just stupid.
I guess the Tigers asked for Hughes...
I guess the Yanks offered Coke.
Don’t like it either way.

I think it's far more than you are suggesting
A Scherzer/Hughes/Jackson/Dunn package for Granderson and JAckson isn’t that bad and actually a decent deal. That’d be two high upside arms, and arms get overprotected these days, so to land two high ceiling arms would be enticing in it’s own right. It wouldn’t be a great deal, but I don’t think it’d be that bad. It would sort of come down to how much you like those two arms. On the other hand, with Coke, your looking at 2 pen arms and Scherzer/Jackson – not that intriguing a package imo. Note, I’m not saying that it’s a good package. I’m saying that I could understand the move if it was Hughes instead of Coke. I also don’t see the point of Coke. Ni and Seay is enough.
my bad, I should've read on, disregard that
just saw that you were simply asking for clarification, was reworking my way down the thread one by one.
No worries.
Ignore the other reply too I suppose :P

Hughes doesn't make this a decent deal
We now have no CF.
2100 Woodward and Twitter
by john.kmiecik on Dec 8, 2009 12:01 AM EST up reply actions
sorry just worked my way back up
if a Scherzer/Hughes/Jackson/Dunn trade did occur, Austin Jackson would likely take over in CF next year.
And that would be a pretty good trade for the Tigers
I see Scherzer as a potential ace and Hughes as a #2 (I’m high on both). So it would be our #2 for a cheaper #2 and then our CF for a cheaper (crappier) CF, an ace pitcher and a lefty out of the ’pen.

can I ask why you're high on Phil Hughes?
as far as I can tell he had a sub-par rookie season, a terrible sophmore, and a decent last season. I really don’t see what is there to get high off of.

I don't see how the Diamonbacks see this as a good deal,

the post on MLBTR has been updated
includes this now:
The deal would send Curtis Granderson to the Yanks, along with a prospect or two from the D’Backs. Arizona would obtain Edwin Jackson from the Tigers and Ian Kennedy from the Yankees. The Tigers would obtain Max Scherzer from the D’Backs and Austin Jackson, Phil Coke and Michael Dunn from the Yanks.

Thank goodness this did not go down.
I just walked away for 20 min to study a bit and it seems Tiger town woke up here at BYB. This trade would have infuriated me greatly, and probably ticked DD off pretty good too. He’s made it clear that he needs major league ready talent in return that can help the Tigers and this deal had really none of it. If DD is the one who shot it down then good for him, glad to hear it.

I was going to say...wrong team.
That’s nothing surprising, who doesn’t want Curtis? He’s a phenomenal player and human being. The Tigers are asking for the world as was said earlier and they should be with him.
Aside: I love this part about baseball.
No other of the big 4 north american sports has this much transactional excitement.
NHL can on deadline day
At least, much more than the NBA or NFL. MLB tends to have the Winter Meetings and Deadline day, while in hockey July 1st and Deadline day are very exciting as well. MLB takes the cake though, getting all these GMs together to discuss trade is pure genius to keep interest in the sport during the offseason.
NHL deadline day can be fun
But I don’t remember a deadline day that involved rumors for all teams.

Trade Granderson and I Jump Ship
Lets see….
Grandy has an off year offensively- yes- but defensively he’s better than ever- trade him and I go with him.
There is no talent in the outfield besides Granderson- Maggs and Guillen are so washed up and overpaid.
Make this trade and I am done with this stupid team.
Honestly?
Jerry has a point. I’m going to be extremely upset if we trade Granderson and I’ve been saying so since his name popped up. It’s going to take the world to even bring it close to being even in my eyes.

I love Curtis
But he isn’t the Tigers. If a trade comes to improve the team, then I am all for it but if it is for crap, then I will be upset.
Remember when Jeff Weaver was traded for Bonderman, German and Pena? I was upset because it looked like Weaver was our only good player. The team is bigger than one player.
I love Grandy
(see username) and hope he stays but as its been stated, if he goes, I’ll still be a Tiger fan for life and hope Grandy does great except against us. He’s a great guy and deserves the best in his career but I can’t ever stop caring about these Tigers.
This trade flat out sucks.
DD pulls this, dumping a workhorse and the city’s most popular athlete for a bag of mismatched parts and still more relief pitchers, he will be entering a world of pain. And not just on the field.
Granderson is THE fan favorite
They’d be doing some serious PR damage to the team by trading him away for what most fans will see as a couple of relief men.

that's just insane
Granderson and two secondary prospects for Kennedy, JAckson, Coke, and Dunn is a deal I’d make any second of the day. The tweet makes it sound like the Yankees killed the deal. Guess DD’s going to have to buckle down in trade talks because that is simply an ugly, awful package. Okay, I’m overstating it a bit, but it’s a bad package (I mean, Scherzer does look like a potential number 2 starter, so to call that awful is a bit far) but it’s just a bad deal, IMO.
I know
The Yanks are giving up garbage.

according to what john.kmiecik posted above, the talks have died with the Yanks backing out. So at the moment, its less of the trade and more of seeing what Rodney decided on.

Thanks.
It’s not going to be that bad, it’s just for my video production class. Thus why I’ve been here and not cramming all night ;)
Good luck on your finals!

Good night
My finals are next week, though I have two regular exams, a lab practical, and a paper due this week.

Sounds fun
2 exams, a take home (I’m trying that now) and 35-40pp of rhetorical analysis (2 papers).

dammit
Now I’m wide awake – this combined with taking a nap after work did it.
Oh, well – I can just take some stuff out to my garage to store until spring before the snow starts tomorrow and do a few other miscellaneous chores.

when I was in college
and routinely saw sunrise from the wrong direction, my roomate and I would egg each other on in our study sessions by shouting “Sleep? Sleep is for peasants! We have no need of sleep!”
It sounded hilarious at 3:00 am after staring at organic chemistry notes since dinner. :D

I wonder how many over flows we can get?

Hahahahahahahaha
It only took us being terrified out of our minds to do it

so Rodney was our soul inspiration for our game threads?
Fear of seeing him pitch?

Hey, I'd rather have to sit through 30 more Rodney saves than have this godawful trade happen

Hey, let's all remember, he once did the same for us
by SabreRoseTiger on Dec 8, 2009 12:46 AM EST up reply actions
yup
He will at the very least help out their pitchers to be better at the end of the season than they were at the start.

Seriously? 15+ comments about Twilight (even if indirectly)?
(Never mind the stuff about Pudge. At least that had something to do with baseball and the winter meetings.)

But again, I remind you: These rumors broke at about 11 pm tonight. What if someone reads this tomorrow morning and then has to scroll through a bunch of off-topic stuff?
Man, I picked a bad night to crash out early....
Rumors flying everywhere!

Not too happy with David Brown right now:
It would be cooler if this huge trade among the Yankees, Tigers and D-backs happened.

As best I can tell, we’re trading Granderson and Jackson for a couple of vampires and a werewolf
Hahahaha
Vampires would make for interesting players (what with their supernatural powers and all), but they’d be useless in day games.

From Olney

I can’t link properly (iPod), but he says talks got to the point where only one team liked the deal. Based on what we’ve heard, my guess is that the team is the D’Backs, but I could be wrong. He’s not sure talks can resume but Morosi says it’s still a possibility.
by SabreRoseTiger on Dec 8, 2009 9:04 AM EST via mobile reply actions
I think...
the general consensus is that you are right. It’s become apparent that the D’Backs are the only team involved that likes this trade.
I’d prefer that the Tigers just squashed this thing from the get-go.

what worries me....
Is that apparently we were pretty far down this road to dump Grandy in a horrid trade. Makes me think its only a matter of when.
