Tigers trade Clint Coulter (Milwaukee C drafted by Tigers in 2nd round of 2012) for Kyle Gibson $300,000 (2018). Gibson hasn't been promoted by Yankees but his 50 IP threshold was reached 2013 (by an inning!).
Tigers need starting pitcher and Gibson, while no ace, is a reliable fourth or fifth starter. I have depth at catcher and catching prospects so while Coulter is a highly rated catching prospect, I still have Knapp in the minors and James McCann so can afford to let him go to fill a SP need. Tigers were able to scout Gibson while on a spring training trip two weeks and are excited to welcome him to the fold:)

I have pitching depth both in the majors and minors and am looking to build some depth on the offensive side, and concur on the trade. Looking forward to adding Coulter to the system.
