UPDATE – 10:33am: Heyman tweets that this deal is “back with a chance.” Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News agrees, noting that the Tigers “may be caving” on the price for Granderson. Wouldn’t be the Winter Meetings without three-team trade scenarios and the constant back-and-forth. – MLBTRADERUMORS

Well it all comes down to their internal evaliuations of Jackson. Because the pitchers are filler.

Exactly. Damon and Cameron cost $18 mil next year.

Granderson $8 mil + AJAX and IPK

AJAX and IPK are worth more than $10 mil.

This is precisely where I’m at. I just don’t like Granderson that much.

I know lots of you are on the “but teh short porch!!1! many HRs!1!!1″ train — but there is another possibility as well. Players who profile like Granderson (flyball, power, LHB) often become so enamored with “teh short porch” that they become worse hitters. I can definitely see that as a possibility with Granderson.

I’m somewhat ambivalent, but if push comes to shove, I pass on this deal unless there’s a really good D-Backs prospect in there.

I think it’s also about what they’re getting back. Granderson’s a nice piece to add but the prospects coming back from Arizona would have to be pretty good as well to make up for the loss of Jackson.

Could be that, or they don’t like that everyone else is getting more talent.

8:29am: SI’s Jon Heyman tweets that this one “looks very unlikely.” In his scenario Heyman had Daniel Schlereth, Scherzer, and more going to Detroit. He adds that the Yankees are saying no to the deal, which would’ve cost them the four prospects named below.

Looks like the Yanks don’t like what they have to give up.
