Deadline roundup: Tigers get Mets' Fulmer

Even before the clock counting down to the Major League trade deadline ticked under 24 hours, a number of massive moves were made. The Indians shipped Brandon Moss to the Cardinals in exchange for left-hander Rob Kaminsky. The Blue Jays acquired David Price from the Tigers for a package headlined by left-hander Daniel Norris not long after shipping away a trio of pitching prospects for Troy Tulowitzki. The Phillies acquired five prospects from the Rangers in exchange for Cole Hamels.

Teams were wheeling and dealing right up until 4 p.m. ET Friday. Here's a rundown on all the moves happening in the run up to the deadline.

Trades

Mets get Cespedes for Fulmer, Cessa: The Mets finally landed an outfielder right at the Deadline on Thursday, swinging a deal with the Tigers to acquire Yoenis Cespedes. In exchange, the team sent back right-handed pitching prospects Michael Fulmer and Luis Cessa.

Fulmer was the Mets' No. 7 prospect and has been a rising name in the system this season. The 2011 first-rounder (44th overall) has pitched mostly with Double-A Binghamton and has a 1.88 ERA in 15 starts. He's struck out nearly a batter per frame while limiting opponents to three home runs in 86 innings.

He's been especially sharp over the past two months, posting a 1.53 ERA with a 63-to-10 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 10 outings. He's allowed one or fewer earned runs in eight of his past nine starts and most recently tossed six innings with nine strikeouts in a 3-0 win over New Britain. He told MiLB.com he used his changeup more in that outing than he has all season.

Cessa ranked 16th in New York's system and had split time between Binghamton and Triple-A Las Vegas. He was outstanding with the B-Mets, posting a 2.56 ERA in 13 starts, but has a 8.51 ERA in five starts with the 51s.

MLB.com says Cessa has an above-average fastball and also throws a changeup and curveball, all with above-average command. The 23-year-old has walked just 1.8 batters per nine innings in his Minor League career.

Phils trade wheels for arms: Philadelphia continued to sell off some Major League pieces, shipping outfielder Ben Revere to the Blue Jays in exchange for fireballing right-handers Albeto Tirado and Jimmy Cordero.

Tirado was one of the top prospects to move on Thursday. The 20-year-old ranked ninth in Toronto's system, featuring a fastball that has hit triple digits. The rest of his repertoire is less refined and he's had trouble finding the strike zone, but he's made strides in those regards this season.

He's spent the entire year with Class A Advanced Dunedin and settled in well in the bullpen, managing a 3.23 ERA in 31 appearances. He's struck out 61 over 61 1/3 innings. His command was much better in the first half of the season, but has wavered of late, as he's walked 13 over his last 10 innings.

Cordero is also a reliever who has hit 100 mph. The 23-year-old has split the season between Dunedin and Double-A New Hampshire, posting a 2.70 ERA in 32 outings. His control has faltered at Double-A, as he's walked 14 in 24 2/3 innings, but he does have 22 strikeouts and just one homer allowed in that time.

Rays pry Hu from Twins: Minnesota currently holds a two-game lead over Baltimore and Toronto for the final Wild Card spot, and the Twins joined those squads as deadline buyers Friday. The team acquired reliever Kevin Jepsen from the Rays in exchange for right-handed pitching prospects Chih-Wei Hu and Alexis Tapia.

Hu is a 21-year-old Taiwanese hurler who has spent most of the season with Class A Advanced Fort Myers. In 15 starts, he's 5-3 with a 2.44 ERA, showcasing advanced pitchability with stuff that generally earns average grades. His most notable pitch is a palmball, which he pairs with a fastball, changeup and curve.

Hu -- ranked 20th among Minnesota's prospects -- has a 79-to-23 strikeout-to-walk ratio with the Miracle this year in 90 2/3 innings and has allowed just five home runs. Assuming Hu is assigned to Class A Advanced Charlotte, his palmball will join a rotation that already includes screwballer Brent Honeywell.

Tapia is a 19-year-old righty who has pitched primarily with Rookie-level Elizabethton. In six starts, he has a 3.82 ERA, punching out exactly a batter per inning. The Venezuelan did not rank among the Twins' Top 30 prospects.

Mariners add Sampson for Happ: The Pirates adjusted their pitching depth right at the deadline, acquiring J.A. Happ from the Mariners in exchange for Triple-A right-hander Adrian Sampson.

Sampson ranked 28th in the Pirates system and has been a solid performer in the upper levels of the Minors. The 23-year-old spent all of 2015 with Triple-A Indianapolis, posting a 3.98 ERA in 21 starts. Sampson is a strike-thrower who has limited opponents to just eight homers in 124 1/3 innings.

The Redmond, Washington native throws a fastball, slider and changeup. Says MLB.com:

"His fastball is a tick above-average because it has good life and sink, getting groundball outs. He complements it with an average slider, a wide-sweeping breaking pitch he can throw for strikes, and his changeup made considerable progress. His stuff plays up because of his excellent command."

O's get Lake for Hunter: Baltimore exchanged pitching for outfield depth right at 4 p.m., announcing a deal that sent right-handed reliever Tommy Hunter to the Cubs in exchange for outfielder Junior Lake.

Lake is a 25-year-old right-handed hitter who has split the past three seasons between Triple-A and the Majors. With Iowa this year, he's managed an impressive .315/.404/.472 line, slugging seven homers and stealing nine bags in 58 games. He's had less success in the Majors, hitting .224 with one homer in 21 games.

Marlins get two prospects for Dyson: Miami sent reliever Sam Dyson to the Rangers on Thursday in exchange for switch-hitting catcher Tomas Telis and left-handed reliever Cody Ege.

Telis is 24 and spent most of the season at Triple-A Round Rock until a recent promotion to the Major Leagues. With the Express, the switch-hitter batted .291 with five homers in 70 games. MLB.com ranked the backstop 19th in Texas' farm system, touting him as an average defensive catcher with an average bat and below-average power.

Ege is a left-handed reliever who has split this season between Class A Advanced High Desert and Double-A Frisco. In 26 appearances with the latter, he owns a 0.85 ERA with 37 strikeouts in 31 2/3 innings.

Mariners land three pitchers for Lowe: Toronto continued to shop aggressively at the deadline Thursday, adding reliever Mark Lowe from Seattle in exchange for pitching prospects Rob Rasmussen, Nick Wells and Jacob Brentz.

Rasmussen is the most advanced of the three, spending most of 2015 with Triple-A Buffalo. The 26-year-old left-hander was a second-round pick in 2010 by Miami who has also played in the Astros, Dodgers and Phillies systems.

He's pitched largely in relief this year, logging 42 innings with the Bisons and posting a 2.36 ERA. He has twice as many strikeouts (40) as walks (20) with just one home run allowed. He's also made one MLB appearance this season and 11 in his career, managing a 2.92 ERA over 12 1/3 innings over the past two seasons.

Wells is a left-hander who was acquired in the third round of the 2014 Draft. The 19-year-old made seven starts this season with Rookie-level Bluefield, posting a 4.78 ERA. He's struck out nearly a batter per inning in the Appalachian League after struggling to miss bats in the Gulf Coast League last summer.

The southpaw's best pitches are a low-to-mid-90s fastball and an above average curveball, and he also throws a changeup, according to MLB.com. At 6-foot-5, 185 pounds, Wells has a chance to add strength and velocity. He ranked 23rd in the Blue Jays system.

Brentz is a 20-year-old left-hander and has also spent this season with Bluefield, going 0-1 with a 4.09 ERA in six starts. The Missouri native has 16 strikeouts and 11 walks in 22 innings. Toronto acquired Brentz in the 11th round of the 2013 Draft.

Marlins move Haren for Pineyro, Soto: Just a few months after acquiring Dan Haren from the Dodgers, the Marlins flipped the 34-year-old right-hander to the Cubs on Friday in exchange for right-hander Ivan Pineyro and shortstop Elliot Soto.

Pineyro could help the Marlins soon. The right-hander has spent the entire season with Double-A Tennessee and been one of the Southern League's top pitchers. In 19 starts, he has a 3.69 ERA, striking out 92 over 107 1/3 frames.

His 3.24 Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) ranks sixth among qualified Southern League hurlers, and he's also in the top 10 in strikeout percentage, strikeout-to-walk ratio, innings pitched and WHIP.

Soto is a 25-year-old shortstop who is in his fourth season with Tennessee. He's having his best offensive season yet at the level, managing a .388 on-base percentage and .702 OPS with the Smokies. Soto has just three homers in 499 Minor League games, and hasn't notched a four-bagger since Aug. 10, 2014.

Brewers get Davies from Orioles: Two days after agreeing to trade Carlos Gomez and one day after actually trading him, Milwaukee was back in action early Friday, flipping outfielder Gerardo Parra to Baltimore in exchange for right-hander Zach Davies.

Davies, 22, was the second-youngest qualified pitcher in the International League this season behind Norris. Despite that, Davies ranks sixth in ERA (2.84) and third in Fielding Independent Pitching (2.98) among qualified starters. The 2011 26th-round pick has 81 strikeouts in 101 1/3 innings and most recently tossed six scoreless frames against Pawtucket.

Listed at 6-foot, 150 pounds, the right-hander was ranked third in Baltimore's system, with MLB.com calling his changeup "one of the best in the Minor Leagues." The Prospect Pipeline team gave his fastball and curveball average grades and rated his control as above average. Davies projects as a No. 4 or 5 pitcher and is nearly ready for the Majors.

Cards send Collymore to Brewers: Milwaukee also agreed to send reliever Jonathan Broxton to St. Louis on Thursday, receiving 20-year-old outfielder Malik Collymore in exchange.

Collymore -- who will report to Rookie-level Helena -- played in 23 games with Rookie-level Johnson City this season, batting .216 with two homers and three stolen bases. A 2013 10th-round pick from Mississauga, Ontario, he's hit .286 with four homers and 12 stolen bases in 96 professional games. Now an outfielder, Collymore has also played second base with the Cardinals.

Reds deal Leake for another young arm: The Giants' top prospects weren't enough to land Cole Hamels or David Price, but they were enough to persuade the Reds to part with Mike Leake. San Francisco acquired the right-hander Thursday night, giving up their top prospect, right-hander Keury Mella and infielder Adam Duvall.

Mella is a right-hander from the Dominican Republic who has spent the entire season with Class A Advanced San Jose. He's 5-3 with a 3.31 ERA in the California League, striking out more than a batter per inning while allowing just four home runs in 16 starts.

The 21-year-old possesses a fastball than can tick into the upper 90s, and per MLB.com, his best pitch is a curveball. He has walked just 2.8 batters per nine innings in his pro career, including 2.9 per nine with San Jose this season.

Duvall is a 26-year-old corner infielder with promising power, but without a true defensive home. He's in his second season in Triple-A and sports a .270 average with 26 homers in 99 games. Over the past two years, he's hit 53 homers in 190 Pacific Coast League contests.

The Louisville native was diagnosed with Type I diabetes in 2012, but has played more than 100 games every year since 2011. He saw action in 28 Major League games last season, batting .192 with three homers for the Giants.

Tigers get Jones from Pirates: The Tigers boosted their farm system with the addition of left-hander Daniel Norris and others by trading away David Price early Thursday. The team continued to build for the future by swapping reliever Joakim Soria to Pittsburgh for infielder JaCoby Jones.

The shortstop now ranks 11th in the Tigers' system. He earns praise for his athleticism and is considered to have a considerable ceiling, although he is 23 and just reached Double-A -- a slower development curve than that of many top prospects. Pittsburgh drafted Jones in the third round of the 2013 Draft and kept him in Class A for all of 2014, where he slugged 23 homers and also learned to play shortstop after handling a utility role at LSU.

Jones moved up to Class A Advanced Bradenton in 2014, hitting .253 with 10 homers and 14 steals in 93 games. He was promoted to Double-A earlier in the week and went 5-for-10 in three games with Altoona prior to the trade.

The 23-year-old is a divisive prospect. He has earned praise for his athleticism and production, hitting 34 homers in 228 professional games. But he's also been promoted carefully, meaning he's often played against younger competition. Reviews of his defense are also mixed, with MLB.com noting, "Jones has played shortstop regularly over the last two seasons and he's improved at the premium position, with his plus athleticism certainly helping him."

Yanks land Ackley with Flores, Ramirez: The Yankees picked up a bat for the pennant race Thursday, flipping a pair of prospects to the Mariners for outfielder Dustin Ackley. Seattle received outfielder Ramon Flores and right-hander Jose Ramirez in return.

Flores has played primarily with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre each of the past two seasons and batted .286 with seven homers and a .794 OPS in 73 games there this season. He's hit for average and gotten on base throughout his pro career, but has eclipsed double digits in home runs just once. He's stolen 62 bases in 661 games, but hasn't swiped more than seven bags in a season since 2012.

The 23-year-old has played all three outfield spots this season, but has mostly been used in the corners. The outfielder landed at No. 25 among the Mariners' Top Prospects.

Ramirez is a relief pitcher with a track record of inducing whiffs. An oblique injury limited him to just 22 1/3 innings in 2014, split between Triple-A and the Majors. He's already logged 52 2/3 frames this year, including 49 2/3 with the RailRiders. He has a 2.90 ERA out of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre bullpen, striking out 56 and allowing just one home run. 

MLB.com placed Ramirez 28th on the Mariners' Top 30 list, labeling his fastball and changeup as above-average Major League pitches.
