Trade Ideas - Throw em out there an share your vote - 2025 Deadline

[AlaskanTigersFan]

Something fun that is specifically for the trade deadline. Feel free to throw out your ideas and share about others trade proposals.

I'll start with one to know your thoughts.

Tigers Send: Thayron Liranzo, Jace Jung, Dietrich Enns, Jaden Hamm, Franyerber Montilla, and Joseph Montalvo 

Pirates send: Mitch Keller, David Bednar, Ke'Bryan Hayes  

 

Maybe a little steep, but I think that could work. Hesitant to keep Jaden Hamm in but this gives Pirates some younger players to build around. Gives the Tigers a rotation lock, closer, and an upgrade (albeit not that big) at 3B. The Defense upgrade alone though could be +2 wins or so at the hot corner. Thoughts?

I saw an article that said the Tigers should acquire Bednar. It showed his good secondary stats that say hes a good pitcher who just had a couple of bad outings.

Would you do the deal I proposed? 

[Arlington]

Yes, but I don't think the Pirates would.  Four promising prospects for three established starters.  They probably could do better.

Mitch Keller and Hayes do nothing for me regarding a playoff run.  Bednar, sure he's signed through '27 and has a 12+ K/9. I'd probably trade Jung and Montalvo for him.

I wonder if our GM has the cajones to make a deal inter division. Some good relievers in the division that could be on the market. Anyone have an idea what a trade would look like for that? Jung for Clase? Would the Indians do that? Would the Tigers? 

Honestly I don't get why teams hate trading inside their own division. If it makes your team better, do the deal. Hopefully Harrison feels the same way and can convince the Indians or Twins GM of the same.....

I don't really know most of those players or how highly touted the Tiger prospects are. Jung I know, not greatly impressed. Maybe he'll get better.

I don't understand why teams who are having a down year would wanna trade quality players. They'll need those players to compete next season. Unless they'll be free agents anyway, may as well get something better than a comp draft choice.

I've seen Hayes as a possible Tigers trade target a few times and I don't know why...he doesn't hit very well.  If Vierling is truly healthy, Hayes serves no real purpose at all

Seen his name floated around quite a bit. I'd take a chance on him. He had a 60 hit tool coming up through the system. Even if he can up his line to something like .280/.320/.400+ I'd take that. He might be the best defensive 1st basemen in MLB..... 

[ICroupier]

Bednar is the only one in that group who interests me.

We need a #2 starter, not another #4/#5 starter. And Hayes doesn't interest me at all. I'm not all that keen on spending any prospect capital on hitting, but if I were to, he's the exact opposite of the prototype I'd be looking for.

Too expensive. Bag of balls for Clase. 😉

He has chronic back issues that have sapped his hitting ability.

[Shinzaki]

Clase's off his rocker...thinks he's Betty Crocker.

I've mentioned this name before...but if they think they can fix him, Alcantara from the marlins might come  bit cheap as a starter.  If they feel they must add a RH hitting 3B..Eugenio Suarez makes a lot of sense.

[AlaskanTigersFan]

What do you all think it'd cost to get Suarez or Alcantara?

[AlaskanTigersFan]

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/07/trade-deadline-outlook-detroit-tigers.html - Anyone got the premium version that can provide cliff notes? I see Cedric Mullins. Not really sure why we'd need another OF...... I think 3B, RP and one more starter is the main needs.

No idea......apparently there's a fair amount of interest in Alcantara.

[AlaskanTigersFan]

I'd give up Jung for Alcanta or Mitch Keller. Wonder if that would be enough.

Not close. 

[Edman85]

On what planet does Enns have trade value?

 

Let me explain.

He's 33. He is making prorated 7 figures, is out of options, is clearly limited, and is eligible for free agency after the season. You have no control, no surplus value, no upside. No trade value.

Enns will probably be a throw in on a deal for a SP just because he's an arm/body they can put in to a rotation as a #5/6 starter right away to ride out the rest of the season. Teams are going to just want an innings eater/body they can use to cover the games they'd lose in a trade. I think he gets included on any deal for a starter.

No they dont. They did in 1995, not today.

If your bad you dont care about filling those innings well. And 4a guys you have your own stable so no reasons to add someone else's. Everyone would rather have a lottery ticket and that's exactly what teams took last year at the deadline.

Guys like Ennis, Jung have little value. They can be traded but it would be for like a blah bullpen arm.

Not even close. These read like Monroe and inge for Pujols

JC. What do you think it'd cost for Alcantara or Keller? I wasn't saying Jung alone. Alcantara's stock is plumetting even after tonights debacle. I think Jung + a B level prospect would probably get Alcantara or Jung + Hamm just for Keller...

I still think my first trade proposal is pretty much even for the 3 of Hayes, Bednar and Keller.......

Not much trade speculation on here because we know the trading process is extremely complex and there's just information about players we don't know. This makes it nearly impossible to predict who goes where. Once a trade happens, there will be a lot of discussion here.
