This was clearly a straight salary dump, when you trade an odds-on Hall of Famer with 2+ years left on contract, for “prospects,” not even a 4th outfielder hitting say .260, and a 5th starter, on the big roster.
Speaking of idiotic deals, our trade Of Moyer.

For 2 Stiffs, and our guy goes to the World Series.

Has some solid years, 58 more wins!

WTF?

And at 43, Colon won 15, Ryan 13, and at 42, Randy won 17.

Now that you mention it we missed the playoffs the year after we traded him by 4 games and he won 14.

At the very least the Tigers should have obtained Lance McCullers and/or a solid AAA prospect.

Cameron hit just .214 in AAA with over 500 PA’s.
