Detroit - Red Sox of Chicago Trade

[Detroit Cardinals (Brian)]

Detroit Trades
Marcus Stroman P NYY (24: $15M 25: $11M 26: $7M)
Zack Thompson P STL (24-27: $500K)
Jake Fox SS CLE

Red Sox Trade
Clayton Kershaw P LAD (24: $12.5M)

Reasoning
Even though Kershaw is out for a good chunk of the year, I think he could be a difference maker when he comes back, at which time I am hopefully in the thick of the playoff hunt. This trade also frees up another spot on my 40 man roster to target some more immediate impact players in free agency. Good luck to Jason and appreciate the trade talks!

RedSox agree to this trade. One of my wants in FA was a starter to get me the point of where my injured starters would be getting back. In Stroman id be getting a controller starter that is cheaper then the going rate that I'm seeing right now, and Fox could be a very interesting prospect down the road. Good Luck Brian
