Late last night, I had reported that the Yankees, Diamondbacks and Tigers were dicussing a three-team blockbuster trade at MLB's Baseball Winter Meetings.
Last night, the trade was vetoed and the teams went back to talking to work on it.
Today around 1:30 p.m., the trade was finally executed.
The Yankees landed center fielder Curtis Granderson.
Pitchers Edwin Jackson and Ian Kennedy were acquired by the Diamondbacks.
The Tigers were able to pick up outfielder Austin Jackson, and pitchers Phil Coke, Max Scherzer and Daniel Schlereth.
The only difference in the trade from last night and ...
The New York Yankees didn't even wait for the champagne-drenched clubhouse to dry before they made an addition to it.
The Seattle Post-Intelligence reports that the Yankees gave up prized prospects Ian Kennedy (pitcher) and Austin Jackson (outfielder) in addition to reliever Phil Coke to get All-Star center fielder Curtis Granderson from Detroit. The move is part of a three-team deal that includes Arizona. Kennedy is the only Yankee headed to the Diamondbacks. Coke and Jackson will join the Tigers. Granderson, 28, hit 38 doubles, 23 triples, ...
While some sources reported it as a rumor earlier, Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated has confirmed via his Twitter that the New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Detroit Tigers have agreed on a deal that will send OF Curtis Granderson to the Bronx and P Edwin Jackson to the desert. The details are as followed:
The Yankees will receive Curtis Granderson from the Tigers. He hit .249 with 30 home runs and 71 RBI’s in 2009 and has always been amongst the elite when it comes to pre-season AL MVP talk. ...
There is a 3-team deal in place that would send CF Curtis Granderson to the Yankees; RHP Ian Kennedy and RHP Edwin Jackson to the Diamondbacks; and LHP Phil Coke, Daniel Schlereth and CF Austin Jackson are sent to the Tigers.
This deal is horrible for the Yankees. Austin Jackson was their top ranked prospect and set to start in CF for the squad this upcoming year. In Scranton-Wilkes Barre he hit .300 with 4 homeruns and 65 RBIs. He added 24 stolen bases in 132 games. He currently is 22 ...
While the New York Mets were talking with Yorvit Torrealba's agent, their cross-town rivals, the New York Yankees were finalizing a blockbuster trade for Detroit centerfielder Curtis Granderson, as several sources have confirmed.
As part of a three-way trade also including the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Yankees would send the Ian Kennedy to the Diamondbacks and reliever Phil Coke and prospect Austin Jackson to the Tigers. The Tigers, who perhaps made out best in the trade, will also receive 25-year-old starter Max Scherzer and 23-year-old reliever Daniel Schlereth from the Diamondbacks. In ...
The first blockbuster move of the offseason has taken place.
According to Jon Heyman, via Twitter , the New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, and Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to a three-way trade. The deal will be officially announced once medical records check out.
Here is the breakdown of the trade.
Yankees receive: Curtis Granderson
Tigers receive: Phil Coke, Austin Jackson, Max Scherzer, and Daniel Schlereth
Diamondbacks receive: Edwin Jackson and Ian Kennedy.
My initial take on this trade is—great for the Tigers, very good for the Yankees, awful for the Diamondbacks.
When I wrote my “Curtis ...
The Yankees are reportedly nearing a three-team deal that would essentially send outfield prospect Austin Jackson to the Tigers in exchange for Curtis Granderson.
In the trade, the D-backs would get Edwin Jackson and Ian Kennedy, while Detroit would also obtain Max Scherzer, Daniel Schlereth, and Phil Coke.
After years of shipping out young talent in exchange for veterans who failed in New York, the Yanks recently turned their focus to keeping their top prospects, resisting opportunities to trade away guys like Jackson, Jesus Montero, Joba Chamberlain, and Phil Hughes for pitchers ...
If reports from reliable sources in Indianapolis are accurate, the Yankees just acquired center fielder Curtis Granderson from the Tigers and two prospects from Arizona.
In return the Yankees have apparently given up starter Ian Kennedy, left-handed reliever Phil Coke, left-handed reliever Michael Dunn, and highly touted prospect Austin Jackson.
One would have thought that these same prospects would have gone a long way toward a trade for Toronto ace Doc Halladay.
When Halladay recently notified Toronto brass that they had until the start of Spring Training to trade him or he would ...
