rockren Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Steve Phillips was just on OTL and said that the talks with the Angels have momentarily broken down. He said the Tigers are now in discussion with the Marlins in a deal not only for Miggy but for Dontrelle Willis as well. The Tigers are supposedly offering Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin (probably a few other prospects) for Miggy and Dontrelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHizzle85 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I think I read on the winter meetings blog on espn.com that Florida didn't think this was going to happen at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) Paul McCartney's grandfather (Gammons) is reporting that Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis are, in fact, going to Detroit for a slew of minor-leaguers. And that it will get done tonight. Edited December 4, 2007 by The Critic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 this looks like pretty close to being done. The tigers just got better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kageman129 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 If this is the best trade proposal the Marlins got, what the hell were the other teams offering? I honestly think the Sox could have got Miguel and Dontrelle for better talent than the Tigers gave up. Tell me this didn't happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a cheap shot on our farm system considering Maybin and Miller are both two of the better prospects in the game. Add in the fact that the Tigers have thrown in 4 other prospects on this and the Marlins did pretty well for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think the Sox could have got Miguel and Dontrelle for better talent than the Tigers gave up. Tell me this didn't happen! Cameron Maybin is probably the best prospect in the game right now, and Andrew Miller isn't far behind. There was no possible way the Sox could have provided a better offer with the players they have in their system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easyw Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 This trade is impossible to fully evalulate at this point. Suffice to say Detroit is now a much better team for 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulokis Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Hands down to the Tigers. That's what you call going for it all. Just looking at the lineup, adding Renteria, Miguel Cabrera and Willis were great moves. Detroit, in paper, looks like a lock for a playoff spot the next couple of years.
