On MLB Network yesterday morning, analyst and former major league utility player Mark DeRosa proposed another trade for the Houston Astros. This one was to acquire a former American League MVP. In the hypothetical deal, the Astros would acquire six-time All-Star Justin Verlander, reliable left-handed reliever Justin Wilson, and cash.
The Tigers would get No. 1 prospect Francis Martes, No. 2 prospect Kyle Tucker (who was mistakenly called Preston Tucker by DeRosa), major league fourth outfielder Jake Marisnick (or Marisnik) and right-handed pitcher David Paulino.
