Tigers, Marlins trade talks accelerating

There were indications on Tuesday afternoon that talks between the Marlins and Tigers regarding a trade that would send third baseman Miguel Cabrera or pitcher Dontrelle Willis, or both, to Detroit for a package of players that would likely include left-hander Andrew Miller and other young players were accelerating.

Ilitich has a lot of dough. But it seems like he goes through a 5 year cycle where he over-funds one of his teams (Red Wings) at the expense of his other team (Tigers) and his key other business (Little Ceasar's), and vice versa. Sounds like the Tigers have favored status currently.

I'd rather have Howie Kendrick alone than that package of Sox players.

Save the other teams the hassle and just name the Tigers division champs.

Holy Blockbusters, Batman!

Wow. Good for the Tigers. Can't believe they came out of nowhere and made that deal. The Marlins are definitely getting some good players in return though.

It sure does... :lol:

Dombrowski is awesome.

[USSoccer]

So he's added Renteria, Cabrera and Willis.

Dombrowski is awesome.

 

 

Anyone's awesome if you got the talent to deal.

[RammyFanny]

Whoa

Which means the below replacement level sparkplug starts at SS for us.

 

Awesome.

Detroit is right back on top. Damn, that has to feel good!

[inari]

Wow. This is shaping out to be one of the most eventful winter meetings in recent memory.

[ChiCubsFan]

Wow. Nuts.

Buster Olney - "Because he's an innings eater, Willis is the type of guy who could have a 5.00 ERA but still win 18 games with that kind of run support."

 

And he was implying that he'd be a good pitcher because he could win 18 games with a 5 ERA.
