St. Louis Trades: SP Marcus Stroman, TOR, 3rd, 1.0 Detroit Trades: OF Kole Calhoun, LAA, 4th, 1.8 OF Mike Gerber, DET, 1st, 0.3 www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.cgi?id=gerber001micCap: St. Louis +1.1 / 74.4 Detroit -1.1 / 100.1
I like me some Stroman, but after acquiring him, Sonny Gray, and Jose Quintana, I felt I had acquired a little bit of pitching excess while having a very spotty lineup. Enter Kole Calhoun, who is fresh off a career year (power-wise, anyway). I'll have 3 years control, and I think (hope?) they'll be Calhoun's peak years (ages 28-30). Hopefully he's got a few more 25+ HR years in him here. Gerber is a complete lottery ticket, I have no idea what (if anything) he becomes long-term, but he's been quite productive so far in his young career. Who knows. Anyway, easy talks Detroit, thanks.

Accept. Calhoun just had a great year, but I'm looking to solidify my rotation and Stroman is a great controlled option to do just that. Thanks for the easy talks Rangers.
