BAL Sends:
1960 1st rounder (#3 overall) C Lopata (ML)
DET Sends:
C Lau (ML) SS Landa (ML)
I probably overpaid, but this deal gets me the long-term catcher I desperately need. There are some good prospects in the draft pool that may be available at #3, but I am stocked full at those positions...and Lau rates better than Torre. Thus, I will use the resource I have to get the best available young catcher I could find. Lopata serves as a replacement for Detroit and Landa provides me young depth. Thanks to Detroit for sticking with the talks and G/L!

Agreed. Didn't really want to move Lau but I like the prospects in the draft. Thanks man.
