Detroit Tigers Trade Idea Nets Recent Cy Young Award Winner From Faltering National League Team<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Tigers improved their record to 47-27 on the season while the Pirates fell to 29-45 with two more games to go in the series.<\/p>\n

Detroit’s win capped off what was a head-spinning day for baseball fans in the Motor City as several news updates were shared on Tigers players including Reese Olson, Matt Vierling and Jackson Jobe.<\/p>\n

It also included a trade proposal from a well known Detroit sports personality that would net Hinch’s team one of the best pitchers in baseball from a team that is firmly on the outside looking in of the 2025 MLB Playoffs race.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, 97.1 radio host Mike Valenti, host of the ‘Mike Valenti Show With Rico,’ shared his Tigers trade idea “that I don’t think anyone will argue with,” he said.<\/p>\n

“A player that, combined with Tarik Skubal, will make you the World Series favorite.<\/p>\n

“The problem,” Valenti continued, “is what you’re going to need to give up.”<\/p>\n

Valenti, a New York transplant, said that the potential trade would also “hurt the Yankees, who are really the only team that anyone fears or cares about in the AL.”<\/p>\n

The proposed trade would send Triple Crown pitching winner and 2024 Cy Young award winner Chris Sale to Detroit in exchange for a trade package that would allow the Braves to select either Tigers top minor league prospect Max Clark or #2 ranked prospect Kevin McGonigle, plus fellow highly rated prospects Bryce Rainer, Josue\u00a0Brice\u00f1o or Thyron Liranzo.<\/p>\n

Detroit would also give up 17-year-old rising international outfielder Cris Rodriguez in the proposed trade.<\/p>\n

“This deal is going to cost you. You’re going to bleed,’ Valenti said according to\u00a0Audacy.com<\/a>, the radio station’s website.<\/p>\n

“You’re going to need some frozen peas, if you know what I mean…There’s going to be a bidding war.<\/p>\n

“The Yankees are going to go after him. The Cubs are going to go after him,” Valenti added.<\/p>\n
