The Florida Marlins have agreed to trade stud third baseman Miguel Cabrera and starting pitcher Dontrelle Willis to the Detroit Tigers for a package of six players.  Three of which played their first MLB ball last year and three that are still in the Minor Leagues.  All are high level prospects.

“It’s very serious, but nothing is finalized yet because some issues need to get worked out,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland told The Associated Press.

Miller was Detroit’s top pick in the 2006 draft and went 5-5 in 13 starts after being called up last summer. Maybin was the Tigers’ first pick in 2005 and shot through the farm system, hitting .143 in 24 major league games, Rabelo batted .256 in 51 games, and one of the other pitchers, 23-year-old Eulogio De La Cruz , appeared in six games for the Tigers, hitting 100 mph on the radar gun.

People hate on the Marlins when they have these fire sales but then three years later they win the World Series again.  They have as many World Series in the past eighty-eight years as the Red Sox do.

To the Tigers: Miguel Cabrera 3B, Dontrelle Willis SP

To the Marlins: Cameron Maybin OF, Andrew Miller P, Mike Rabelo C, Eulogio De La Cruz P, Dallas  Trahern P, Burke Badenhop p
