Tigers get great pitching from Verlander and beat the Rockies, 6-2.

 

Justin Verlander drives in his 1st RBI today.

 

The Detroit Tigers announced Thursday afternoon they have acquired righthanded pitcher Grayson Long and a player to be named later or cash considerations from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for outfielder Justin Upton.

Long, 23, is ranked as the eighth-best prospect in the Angels system by Baseball America and the ninth-best prospect in the organization according to MLB Pipeline. In 26 starts this season between Single A Inland Empire and Double A Mobile, the 6-5, 230 lbs. righthander has compiled an 8-8 record with a 2.69 ERA (133.2IP/40ER), 125 strikeouts, a 1.17 WHIP and a .232 opponents batting average. Long, who was named to the Southern League All-Star Team earlier this season, currently leads all Southern League pitchers with a 2.52 ERA (121.2IP/34ER), while he is fourth with a .226 opponents batting average and fifth with a 1.13 WHIP. He also ranks fourth among Southern League starting pitchers with 10.50 baserunners allowed per nine innings.

 

Astros acquire Verlander from Tigers in blockbuster trade

In the type of blockbuster trade rarely seen in August, the Astros acquired former American League MVP and Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander from the Detroit Tigers, an industry source confirmed to the Chronicle.

The stunning deal, consummated just before Thursday's 11:59 p.m. ET deadline for a player to be eligible for his new team's postseason roster, cements the Astros' status as the favorites in the American League.

Verlander had to waive his no-trade rights to complete the trade. Franklin Perez, arguably the Astros' best pitching prospect and undoubtedly one of their best two, headlines the package going to the Tigers. Outfielder Daz Cameron and catcher Jake Rogers will also go to the Tigers in the deal.

Verlander, 34, is under contract for two more seasons after this one at $28 million per year. The Tigers likely included money in the deal to better the prospect package they received in return

I'm pretty bummed about the JV trade but I understand why it was done. $50 million a season off the books within the last few days. Complete rebuild is in full effect. Miggy in the offseason and Victor probably getting released in the offseason will make it a complete gutting.
