I like the trade for you, but I would try to swap out Damon for something else. You really have no place to play Damon so he is kind of useless.

I think Lackey would be a huge upgrade over Verlander and I think SP is a weakness on your team so that part of the trade makes sense for you, you just need to try to squeeze something more useable out of him.

I wouldn't... I don't see Tejada as an upgrade over Drew at ALL, Damon is eh, and Verlander, I think, is poised for a rebound....

Can you help me quickly?

No no no no no no.

You're getting rid of a ton of youth with potential for some broken down injury risks. Keep what you have.

Because Furca is so much younger than Tejada?

You don't need this trade. I'd eave out the SS part of the trade, and aim for lackey without giving up Drew.

I would do it, then use Damon to pick up a better reliever since you only have one closer in Jenks, Pinella is giving the closers job to Gregg

Comment on mine, please?
