Tigers agree to this trade.
It was tough to part with Turner but I've always been a fan of Rasmus and have faith that he'll pick it up in Toronto. It's nice to have a longer-term solution than Marlon Byrd. I'm very happy to also grab Motte in this deal, as I've been trying to find closers for this team.
Contract info for the players involved:
Rasmus ($443,000 in 2012 and arb next two seasons)
Motte ($435,000 in 2012 and arb next two seasons)
Turner ($440,000 in 2012; $480,000 in 2013, and arb for the three subsequent seasons)
Dirks ($440,000 in 2012; $480,000 in 2013, and arb for the three subsequent seasons)
Thanks to Nick for working with me on this deal!
