The Marlins and Tigers are engaged in preliminary talks about a blockbuster that would send Cabrera and left-hander Dontrelle Willis to Detroit for a package of young players, according to major-league sources.

Outfielder Cameron Maybin and left-hander Andrew Miller likely are among the Marlins' targets.

Dave Dombrowski doesn't get nearly enough credit. Granted, Maybin + Miller is a lot to lose but Cabrera/Willis is a lot to gain and they're both young.

Oh, and by the way... Dombrowski drafted/acquired every player in that deal except Willis.

Holy cow, now that is a serious package of prospects.

I hated reading that because it completely burst the bubble of delusion (however small) I was under that we might actually get to see Cabrera and Pujols play together.

Yes and no. It's a serious package, but they'll have to include a ton more to get both of those guys.

Tigers in Preliminary Talks for a Willis AND Cabrera Deal

I doubt this one goes anywhere, but wow... that would be a big deal. Willis sucks now and whatnot, but this would still be a pretty epic trade.

The buzz around the media room right now is the makings of a huge deal between the Marlins and Tigers, with both Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis heading to Motown for a five-player package that leads off with Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller. Right now, who the other three are is apparently being worked out, and while there'’s plenty that could still go wrong, multiple sources confirm that the talks are real.

And I don't think Willis stinks now. He just got destroyed by that abysmal defense.
