I don't see the tigers with Laird and Avila that a catcher is going to a part of the deal. With one more year of Laird (obviously none trade able) and then up and start Avila, we don't really have a need for a catcher til maybe next year. The smartest move would be for the Tigers to move in on a ML ready pitcher. along with 1 A grade prospect or 2 mid tier prospects for Edwin. Especially if we are selling high and the trade is all but set in stone to a team. Actually I think a ML ready pitcher is or should be apart of the deal Mark.

It would be 3 years, but I think The dback's would be silly to give him up for Jackson. They have two viable catchers Synder and Montero, unfortunately Synder and a prospect sounds about right.

Not sure if it had any weight to it at all, but i'd love 3 or 4(?) years of Scherzer for two of Jackson. I read something about Jackson/Scherzer on mlbtr a few days ago.

(and don't say James Skelton)... Is Stephen Drew in that conversation? Miguel Montero? Max Scherzer? Those are pretty much the only guys that are really interesting (outside of Upton, Haren and Webb, obviously) and I doubt Jackson is enough to get one of them. I also don't have any idea about Arizona replacing one of those guys. EDIT: Joel and Vince's posts would presume that Stephen Drew is not part of any Jackson trade.

Couple things wrong with this. First, Leyland doesn't have anything to do with what happens with Jackson or Granderson. Second, if they're in this supposed Royals (I'm assuming [shame on me] that you mean cost-cutting) mode, then how does having to pay the rest of Leyland's contract after they fire him, while finding and hiring his replacement, achieve that goal? “I’m willing to wait and see who they get, but if they trade Jax/Granderson for prospects I guarantee you that will result in Leyland getting fired by 8/1 and the team goes into full Royals mode.”

We saw "two Jacksons" last season, and there's no certainty as to which we'll see going forward. If the Tigers can get a team to trade for the All Star-Jackson, then you do it. As a Boras client, most people agree that the Tiger's chances of signing him to an extension are slim, so instead of risking losing Jackson to FA, better to deal him if you can get something in return (various people are saying that the Tigers' asking price is very high). Don't get me wrong, I think the Tigers would probably be better with Jackson in 2010, but there's a risk that the first half of 2009 doesn't repeat.

So some joe hears Jacksons name in a hotel lobby, so he puts it on Twitter that he got traded. What a loser. Jackson rumors are getting ridiculous.
