Tigers Trade: Max Scherzer ($15.53M '14) $6M towards Max Scherzer

Mariners agree. This goes against my build for the future plan, but it's Max Scherzer. This trade gives the Tigers pieces for the future while getting him under the cap, which is not easy these days. I get another ace to pair with Felix.
I get an of to plug in right away, i regain picks that I lost and I get two future prospects to help the depleted system. Saving nearly 9 mil in cap is huge.
