According to Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes, the Tigers and Miguel Cabrera have reached an 8 year extension worth $153.3 million.  According to Rojas’ source, the deal will be complete upon Cabrera taking a physical.

Cabrera, along with SP Dontrelle Willis were traded to the Tigers this winter for various prospects including LHP Andrew Miller and OF Cameron Maybin.

Jeez, that’s a lot.  Makes me feel fortunate for the great contracts we have Wright and Reyes signed to.

Peter Gammons of ESPN updates us on the other three pitchers that the Tigers have sent to the Marlins. In addition to the Marlins receiving OF Cameron Maybin, P Andrew Miller, and C Mike Rabelo for P Dontrelle Willis and 3B Miguel Cabrera, the fish also received the following pitchers:

Eulogio De la Cruz (3.62 ERA in the minors with a blazing fastball)
Dallas Trahern (13-6 between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo)
Burke Badenhop (12-6 between Lakeland and Erie)

Baseball America named Maybin and Miller as Detroit’s top two prospects prior to the 2007 season. If you missed it yesterday, check out Anthony’s post on Maybin and Miller.

I am thankful that Dontrelle won’t be doing this off us anymore.
