Tigers acquire Infante, Sanchez from Marlins
DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers made another aggressive move Monday, acquiring second baseman Omar Infante and right-hander Anibal Sanchez from Miami in exchange for 21-year-old righty Jacob Turner and two minor leaguers.
The deal, which also includes a swap of 2013 draft picks, gives the Tigers a likely solution to their season-long problems at second base and adds another experienced arm to their starting rotation.
The trade underscores Detroit’s desire to win now after signing slugger Prince Fielder in the offseason. Turner was considered the Tigers’ top pitching prospect and earned his first major league win Sunday.
