PHI/DET

[Tigers GM (Peter)]

Philly sends: 
Yu Darvish, SP, SDP - 24: 21.9M; 25: 21.9M (20% retained); 26: FA
Kevin McGonigle, MI, DET - MiLB

Detroit sends: 
Yusei Kikuchi, SP, HOU - 24: 9.5M; 25: FA
Giancarlo Stanton, OF, NYY - 24: 13.0M (50% retained by STL in previous trade); 25: FA

Little move toward the future. I'm optimistic about a good season from Darvish next year, and happy to add McGonigle in this deal as well. Thanks Tony for the good chat, and best of luck in your postseason run!

Looks like Yu Darvish was signed this past offseason so his contract cannot be bought down this year: franchisemode.proboards.com/thread/5542/yu-darvish-sp-sd

Please post and confirm any revision to this deal. It has been temporarily processed without the buydown.
