Kind of a brash statement with 70 games to go and him not having a great year. Id throw at Cabrera next game for this "I found it very interesting," Verlander told reporters Saturday, according to MLB.com. "Really, when I saw that trade, I thought that they made that trade for us. No doubt about it in my mind." More from ESPN.com Acquiring Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel from the Cubs puts the A's in a strong position for the rest of this season, David Schoenfield writes. Story Friday night's blockbuster deal was a win for both the Cubs and Jeff Samardzija, who now gets to pitch for a contender, Jon Greenberg writes. Story The Cubs land a significant prospect (and more) while the A's target a title in a deal that fits the timeline for each organization, Keith Law writes. Story Insider SweetSpot: NL Central Trade Preview Stats & Info: Oakland's fireworks The Tigers sent the A's home after AL Division Series Game 5 losses in both 2012 and '13. Verlander beat Oakland with dominant performances each time. The 2011 AL Cy Young Award winner sees the trade as Oakland general manager Billy Beane's attempt to enable his team go all the way in 2014. "If they want to win the World Series, they're envisioning that they have to go through us, and, even though it's been two fantastic series, it's been heartbreaking for them the last two years," Verlander said. |

Given the other teams in the AL Central...unless KC or Cleveland cleans out their farm system for David Price. |

Pretty bold fighting words. KC could improve and / or get lucky. |

Detroit always retaliates, even if it looks pretty clear that the opposing pitcher lost the handle and didn't mean it, man. Tampa Bay nicked one of their hitters, Victor Martinez, in the shin the other day. Course, first guy up for the Rays next go around is Longoria and their pitcher plants the first pitch in his shoulder. The Tampa Bay broadcast crew commented that they think it's Cabrera/V-Mart telling these young guys to retaliate. Party because Detroit has a new manager this year and it was the same way under Leyland (according to the TB crew) but also because those guys seem to be that way: http://youtu.be/zuIt9H_BkuQ Tigers swept Oakland in Detroit right before the Shark trade. So maybe Verlander has a point. |
