Tigers get second baseman Polanco - 6/9/05
This trade makes sense for Philadelphia as they acquire a top-notch closer/set-up man for a player who is a full-time utility player and a free agent at the end of the year. And to boot, Philly never wanted him back this season.
The deal doesn't make a lot of sense for the Tigers, though. Polanco is a good player with the ability to play almost every position, but he will be a free agent at season's end and the Tigers are not a play-off contender this year.
Urbina should have been dealt for players who are at least in the Tigers control for 2006. I know Polanco can be tendered but is he a $5-$6 million player?
