This is breaking news:
In the first really big news of the winter (other than the Yankees' signing spree), it appears as if the Marlins have agreed to trade Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to the Detroit Tigers for LHP Andrew Miller, OF Cameron Maybin, and C Mike Rabelo along with 3 minor leaguers.
The Marlins get some good young talent and maintain their miniscule payroll (maybe they are trying to chase off all 2 of their remaining fans) while the Detroit Tigers look serious about getting back to the World Series.
What do you think about the trade? What does this mean for the Marlins? Are the Tigers now favorites in the AL Central?

Re: Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis traded
Phillies should note that it's easier to trade your best prospects for top-shelf talent when you're willing to replenish the farm system by going over-slot. Yes, Bud Selig might stamp his widdle foot. But do you think the Tigers deal Miller if they don't have Porcello coming up? I don't.
As for the Marlins, they just shed $13.8 million of their total 2007 payroll of $30.5 million. Unreal.
