On the last day of the 2014 Winter Meetings, the Tigers were in a situation where they had just acquired Yoenis Cespedes for Rick Porcello, leaving their starting rotation one card shy of a full deck (assuming starting rotations contain 52 pitchers). Then came the buzz and hum of the rumor mill that the Tigers were about to make a deal with the Cincinnati Reds for a pitcher, and wasn't that a wonderful fifteen minutes or so, before we knew who they had picked up and still had the option of fantasizing that maybe it was Mat Latos, or Mike Leake, or even -- hey, why not, Dave Dombrowski is a Level 30 Trade Wizard -- Johnny Cueto himself?
