Victor Martinez Likely Out For Season With Torn ACL: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

This immediately puts the Cubs back in play on some prospects in the Tigers' org if they are willing to throw someone like Soto into the deal with Garza. Just speculation on my part though.

FYI: Not really a rumor, but the resulting discussion will be pure speculation until something is official which is why it's in this forum.

**cubsneedmiracle** · 01-17-2012, 04:25 PM

I'm sure there's going to be discussion because of this.

**Rice Cube** · 01-17-2012, 04:32 PM

Prepping for all the "Garza + non-sucky-hitter" trade speculation.

I'm not sure how Soto would be in on the mix if Detroit is looking to replace Vmart. I think they would be looking for a much bigger bat

Soto is there as value because he's still cost controlled and can play catcher to spell Avila. You are correct that a bigger bat would be more ideal, and there's some rumors suggesting the Tigers may want to look at Carlos Pena.

brett05 · 01-17-2012, 06:16 PM

Soto would be a backup for the Tigers, I think a Pena or even a 3-4 year deal for Prince could be next

**Rice Cube** · 01-17-2012, 08:32 PM

Pena honestly makes more sense because he'd be less expensive.

I don't care where Pena goes as long as the Cubs get that supplementary draft pick

**JosMin** · 01-17-2012, 09:24 PM

Maybe Detroit would get desperate and want Soriano....

Brett, Fielder isn't going for just 3-4 years. Sorry.
