Detroit Tigers Acquire Adam Jones

Though we are all excited to acquire Adam Jones, we did give up some of the future. Austin Jackson is departing. His offense hasn't necessarily helped the Tigers this season. I see Jones about the same as Jackson, except his amazing power ability.

Nick Castellanos, a 5-star prospect is next to go. With a young Miguel Cabrera at 3rd, Castellanos would be trapped in the minors for a considerable part of his career. It is unfortunate for him to leave. Hopefully, he doesn't haunt us later.

Eric Patterson is last to leave. He sucks. Robert Andino came to Detroit on the other side of the deal with Ryan Flaherty. Andino can play most of the infield spots, and Flaherty could end up anywhere on the field (except catcher). He knows all other positions.

The move puts the Tigers further over their budget. The budget concept is what I hate most about this game. It is unrealistically low, and highly disproportionate. For a large market team like the Tigers, how can I start off with a projected budget of $129 M. Oh, by the way, I am $26 million over, so they only want me to have $100 million on the roster. The Yankees, who are probably falling short of expectations (11-11) have a $200 million budget.
