Just minutes before Major League Baseball's trade deadline, the Detroit Tigers complete a 3-team deal that landed them David Price from the Tampa Bay Rays.
However, there was a problem. The Tigers were in the middle of a game against the Chicago White Sox and one of the players Detroit traded was standing in center field when the deal was completed.
In the seventh inning of the game, Tigers pitcher Joakim Soria had just thrown the fourth pitch to Gordon Beckham when there was some commotion in the Tigers dugout.
