Tigers Complete Another Blockbuster Deal

The expectations were high, and Jered Weaver didn't fill them. As a result, he will be shipped to Atlanta along with platoon outfielder JD Martinez.

On the other hand, the Tigers will re-acquire Jair Jurrjens and also recieve Mike Minor.

The move frees up nearly $6 million from the cash-stripped Tigers, and also eliminates the need for Felix Doubront, who hasn't shown much new this season.

Fans should expect supplementary moves. It is unknown whether or not Jurrjens stays with the Tigers because it is a contract year. Felix Doubront is certain to be leaving the Tigers; however. And, a need has opened for a corner outfielder who hits well versus lefties.

To leave the Braves with budget space, highly-touted pitching prospect Julio Teheran will also be sent to Detroit! Only Duane Below was needed in return for this deal to be confirmed. What a steal...
