The Detroit Tigers have just pulled a trade with the Florida Marlins (pending physicals) that brings Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante to Detroit in exchange for top prospects Jacob Turner, catcher Rob Brantly, and another rising pitcher, 6’8” lefty Brian Flynn (AA Erie).
The two teams also exchanged compensation picks in next year’s draft. The Tigers will bump up some in that swap.
Jacob Turner
Jacob Turner showed enough in his 3 starts this year to get other teams interested in his vast potential. At just 21 years old, the sky is still the limit for him. Turner aside, catcher Rob Brantly might be the hotter of the 2 prospect in the deal.
Brantly just performed in the MLB Future’s Game and as a left-handed hitting catcher was very highly coveted. He just turned 23 years old and has hit .287 with 3 homers and 30 RBI’s between AA and AAA this year.
Flynn has a 3.95 ERA between two levels this year as his immense size has scouts intrigued.
