"The Florida Marlins and Detroit Tigers have agreed in principle on a trade that will send Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to Detroit for key prospects, sources told ESPN's Peter Gammons on Tuesday.

The Tigers would send outfielder Cameron Maybin, pitcher Andrew Miller, catcher Mike Rabelo and three other minor league pitchers to the Marlins."

So you're saying we had the horses to make this kind of deal?

What are you smoking?

that might have gotten it done. all that for a #5 starter and a second 3rd baseman.

oh, and then we'd have to sign them both. and Pujols would probably love it when Cabrera is making $10mn more per year than him.

yeah, i mean, seriously: what the hell is wrong with Mo?

Would this site be better with 1000 1-comment diaries? First Rolen, then Reyes, now the Fla/Det trade. These are all worthwhile discussions worthy of diaries. But each additional comment doesn't warrant its own diary. Your comments, Blazer, are worthwhile and respected but they should have gone in the diary that was created just 2 hours prior on this exact topic.

The discussions of these rumors and trades will be much easier to follow and better to get involved in if we consolidate them as much as possible.

P.S. -- "the DeWitt lies and Mo is full of shit" stuff isn't at all worthwhile and probably violates the community guidelines It's OK to criticize the Cards organization, including Mo and DeWitt (though I don't agree with your take at all) but the name-calling is utterly worthless and, frankly, beneath you.
