Detroit Tigers fans saw the team trade standout starting pitcher David Price at the 2015 trade deadline.
The two most prominent pieces the Tigers acquired in return were fellow starters Daniel Norris and Matt Boyd. Both young arms slotted into Detroit’s rotation, and are now indispensable parts of the roster.
Along with Michael Fulmer, the duo nearly led the team to the playoffs in 2016, but fell just short.
While both Norris and Boyd have thrived, Detroit acquired another pitcher in the swap.
Jairo Labourt came over as the proverbial lottery ticket in the deal.
