The Tigers traded minor league second baseman Jack Hannahan to the Athletics for an upspecified Triple A player.  Hannahan has had a solid season for the Mud Hens but like a lot of players on that team, he’s well past the point of being considered a prospect (he turned 27 in March).  I picked this up from the radio and they didn’t know who the Tigers were going to get but the speculation was that it would be someone from the A’s Triple A affiliate, the Sacramento River Cats.

***UPDATE***

As Chris indicates, the Tigers received Jason Perry in a trade.  Perry plays left field, which the Tigers view as one of their greatest needs.  It’s a low risk move though and it’ll be interesting to see how Perry fits into the mix.  There’s also speculation that Cameron Maybin could be brought up sooner rather then later but for it looks like idle speculation.
