The Detroit Tigers have officially traded Andrew Miller, Cameron Maybin, Mike Rabelo, and three unnamed minor leaguers for Cy Young winner Dontrelle Willis and 3rd basemen Miguel Cabrera. Let the shock sink in, I didn't believe it myself at first, Tigers in the sweepstakes for two of the most sought after young players in all of baseball. Not only did they have to give up the two best prospects, but seemingly the entire farm system as well. With this move it is clear that the Tigers are planning for the now and believe that they can win with this nucleus of players. With the bat of Miguel Cabrera added to the likes of Gary Sheffield, Magglio Ordonez, and Curtis Granderson the Tigers should boast one of the most powerful lineups in all of baseball. Adding a Cy Young winner, and a young one at that, to the rotation can only boost the Tigers stock as well. Look for more analysis to come, most likely when it all sinks in.
