From mlbtraderumors. When a twins official was asked about their interest in porcello he scoffed. Haha, thats great.

Well according to Mlive today miguel Cabrerra has notified the Tigers of his intent to go back to 1B. So now i guess it is Nick C to 3B as not a lot of options at 3B. there are more OF FA's for LF as opposed to 3B. Very weak class for 3b this off season.

Update.......Raburn Still Sucks!

be thankful.. SE Michigan we have the Tigers. If DD wakes up and gets us a closer..we are golden.

be thankful for the Wolverines...class all the way. no burning couchs in AA. Be thankful we have more class than that school down there. You will never put class and Urban meyer in the same sentence..even though I just did.

thankful the Tigers are a good team with great fans...3 million again in 2013.
Lions win as we eat turkey..... a thanksgiving tradition we have enjoyed when no other team wanted to play on this day. now they all crying they should get to play....

thankful as most of the country is still struggling because of the greed of wall street. the Auto industry is booming. like it has never has...BOOMING..not only in SE Michigan but in at least 6 other states and 2 Canadian provs. thankful we don't have to look at Unis colored scarlet and grey .like that school down there.

DD needs to jump on signing Chris Getz and Nate McLouth. Need some Michigan guys on the team.

Well, MAJOR news out of Detroit: The Tigers have agreed to a 1-year contract with utilityman Don Kelly. Waaa-hoo!

That surprises me. I'd heard they were gonna let him walk. Spot #25 is now filled...

way too much over reaction here. All the guys tendered contracts such as DK and our favorite lefty Coke are similar to BB deal last season. Not guaranteed.I believe if they cut before a certain point the most the Tigers are on the hook for is 1/4 of the deal.

Fister to the Nats? Who did we get in return?

[broncosmitty]

Steve Lombardozzi and some minor leaguers? Hmmm....

 

[jalopy]

I would have thought he was untouchable because of his salary situation. He will be missed. It will be interesting to see what we get in return.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Open tryouts at 2B and 3B?

sounds like DD might not be done.

 

[adrian2]

The fister deal is this. he brings the most in return as he is under club control for 2 more years and of course not represented by Boras. made 4 mil last season, so probably was going to make 6-8 mil this season. guessing another move aimed at signing max and going forward with JV, max and sanchez at top 3 and Porcello and Smyly rounding out the rotation. Would have liked to keep Fister over ricky, but Fister is a more tradeable player.

Wondering if the Tigers are were waiting on filling the closer spot until they cleared some payroll $$ before the winter meetings?

#Tigers have acquired LHP Robbie Ray, LHP Ian Krol and utility player Steve Lombardozzi from the Washington Nationals in exchange for Doug Fister

 

[Cleaves2000]

Wow didnt get what i thought for fister. Starting to look like the tigers are going to be taking a step back....i sure hope this is for a future move. Now we have lost fielder infante peralta and added kinsler and some "pieces". Not liking the offseason so far....

 

[Cleaves2000]

That seemed more of a package for porcello....thought fister could of at least brought clippard.
