Breaking: The Blue Jays acquire David Price from the Tigers
The Toronto Blue Jays, fresh off the trade for Troy Tulowitzki, just made their second high-profile acquisition in three days, acquiring lefty David Price from the Tigers. Ken Rosenthal reported a bit ago that the package heading back to Detroit includes at least pitching prospect Daniel Norris, with Jon Heyman confirming. Outfielder Anthony Alford may be part of the deal. We will be updating as the details of the trade emerge, however.
For the Tigers this marks the beginning of a “reboot,” to use their term. A rebuild if you’re being less charitable. In any event it’s the official acknowledgement that 2015 was a failure and that they do not believe they can sign Price to a long-term deal.
And, as far as reboots go, it’s a good one if they do pick up Norris, who projects to to be a front-line starter. He had a cup of coffee in Toronto to begin the season and didn’t fare well in terms of control, but he’s been figuring things out at Triple-A as the summer has worn on. His stuff is amazing, of course, and it’s only a matter of time before he figures it out at the big league level. If Alford is included, the Tigers will be getting a center fielder who is tearing it up at A-ball s far this year.
Price, of course, needs no introduction, and his place on a Blue Jays team clearly going for it this year is clear. The 2012 Cy Young Award winner is enjoying another fine season, posting a record of 9-4 with a 2.53 ERA and a K/BB ratio of 138/29 in 146 innings. Some of his peripheral stats aren’t up to his career highs, but his ERA+ of 156, if it holds up, is his best ever mark. He’s still an ace, obviously, and one who is going to get paid in a major way after this season when he hits the market as a free agent.
For now, though, he’s the new ace of the Toronto Blue Jays. Who, when the day began, were in third place, seven games back in the AL East and two games back of the Twins for the second AL Wild Card spot. They have work to do. But now they have a workhorse to help them do it.
