Well, for those of you who could not wait for the Detroit Tigers to pull the trigger on their first trade, you have to wait no more.

According to reports, the Tigers have dealt outfielder J.D. Martinez to the Arizona Diamondbacks for prospects Dawel Lugo, Sergio Alcantara, and Jose King.

According to Baseball America neither Lugo (SS and 3B), Alcantara (SS and 2B), or King (SS) are considered a Top 100 prospect. Lugo is listed as the No. 2 prospect in the Diamondbacks organization while Alcantara and King are absent from the top 10.

Martinez, who is still only 29-years-old, has been absolutely outstanding for the Tigers this season. In 57 games, he hit .305 with 16 home runs and 39 RBIs.

After struggling to get things going with the Houston Astros during his first three seasons in the league, Martinez was acquired by the Tigers. Since then, in three seasons and parts of another, he hit .300 with 99 home runs and 285 RBIs while emerging as one of the best hitters in baseball.

Replacing Martinez on the Tigers roster is Jim Adduci who has been called up from AAA Toledo.

From InsidetheZona.com prior to the 2017 season, regarding Dawel Lugo:

Lugo’s always been known for being able to get the bat on the ball as he’s hit pretty consistently since signing back with Toronto before the 2012 season. He’d played shortstop for several seasons but made the full time move to third base this season where reports have been solid. He should last at third and has plenty of arm for the position. He managed a .311/.339/.492 line across two levels this season and held his own after a promotion to AA Mobile. He notched 17 homers, 23 doubles and seven triples over 127 games this past season, jumping himself up this list. There are some quirks in his swing and he needs to refine his approach as he’s been exploited by strong pitching in the AFL this fall, but with some fine tuning he may turn into a solid everyday regular. That growth, particularly in the approach, has to happen for him to become a useful big leaguer, but he’ll turn just 22 this winter and should open 2017 back in AA.

So far in 2017, while playing for the AA Jackson Generals of the Southern League, Lugo hit .282 with seven home runs and 43 RBIs.

Sergio Alcantara, who is only 5-9, 168 lbs, was hitting .279 with the Visalia Rawhide of the California League. He had hit three home runs and had 28 RBIs to go along with 11 stolen bases before being dealt to the Tigers.

Jose King, who is 6-0, 160 lbs, was hitting .261 with zero home runs and nine RBIs in 13 games in rookie ball.
