Senior baseball writer Peter Gammons reported that the Florida Marlins sent Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to the Detroit Tigers for star prospects Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller, along with catcher Mike Rabelo and three other minor league prospects. This is a great deal for both sides as the Tigers add a power bat to an already stellar lineup as well as an innings eater at worst with the possibility of an ace. The Marlins receive uber-prospects in centerfielder Maybin who is regarded as one of the top 5 prospects in all of baseball as well as former first-rounder Miller. Not to mention the other four prospects snagged in this deal. This makes the Tigers serious contenders, as if they weren't already. This came at total suprise to everyone as the Tiger's came out of nowhere, but Sports Review Magazine seemed to have the scoop at 10:52 this morning. The question now is whether the Angels will still actively search for a power bat.

-Ozzie Guillen confirmed the White Sox interest in Andruw Jones despite their dislike for Scott Boras.

-Angels' GM, Tony Reagins, denied any Angel interest in Johan Santana. This makes the Red Sox seem to be the only players a deal. But, I think everyone's learned to expect the unexpected this off-season. But the Red Sox current proposals stand at Lester, Lowrie, Masterson, Crisp, and Kalish or Ellsbury, Lowrie, Masterson, and possibly Kalish. A deal could get done tonight or early tomorrow morning, but these things tend to drag out. Besides, the Red Sox would still need to reach an agreement with Santana concerning a contract extension.
