Ok, day two has just about ended in Nashville and one major deal has gone down. A preliminary agreement has been made that would send four time all-star 3rd Basemen Miguel Cabrera and 2003 rookie of the year pitcher Dontrelle Willis to the Detroit Tigers for catcher Mike Rabelo, outfielder Cameron Maybin and pitchers Andrew Miller, Eulogio De La Cruz, Burke Badenhop and Dallas Trahern.
Umm...look at the line up and rotation for the Tigers now.
Curtis Granderson
Placido Polanco
Gary Sheffield
Magglio Ordonez
Miguel Cabrera
Edgar Renteria
Carlos Guillen
Pudge Rodriguez
Jacque Jones
Their pitching rotation isn't that bad either: Justin Verlander, Nate Robertson, Jeremy Bonderman, Kenny Rogers and Dontrelle Willis.
Their current lineup looks just as strong as last years Red Sox lineup. Speaking of the Sox...The Sox and Twins are hammering out the particulars of the Johan Santana deal. Jon Lester, Coco Crisp and two other minor leaguers are reportedly part of the package for the former Cy Young winner.
The Mets are sitting on their hands currently, no one is biting at anything they put on the table.
The Yankees seem to be out of the Santana talks. Expect them to show interest in Erik Bedard or Oaklands Dan Harren.
Anything else that is going to happen will go down either tonight or tomorrow. Winter meetings end Wednesday.
