The Tigers for supposed 9 years....

so glad this didn't go down with the Rangers now and I gotta say, talk about over reacting from the Tigers with Martinez going down

So, does he DH?

219 million?

If DH stands for "down hamburgers" then the answer is yes.

...and I believe he doesn't eat hamburgers like a believe my Baptist friends don't drink.

9 years, 219Million?

OH MY!

congrats boras...you have done it again

Where is the dumbass that said he wouldn't get a long term deal for $200MM? DallasAg94, I believe?

With Cabrera and Fielder they will have to play station to station.

Enjoy Motown, Prince...

Like Prince will ever see that neighborhood.

Laugh at, not listen to.

Means Cabrera will likely move to 3rd.

Glad the Rangers didn't pony up that much money. I would have still liked to have had him on the team though.

What a ridiculous deal. Panic?

Holy sh*t. Tom Hicks thinks that's a stupid deal.

I wanted him, but not for 9 years. Hell I woulda been reluctant at 7 years.

scott boras is some sort of god. amazing

Cabrera at 3rd.
Fielder at 1st.

How many bunts will we see put down vs Detroit this season?

I would have been happy with 5 years and an option for the 6th. Detroit just went pure stupid.

I would have a hard time believing Cabrera wouldn't DH

my thoughts exactly

and that's why Scott Boras is a genius.

good grief, the Tigers give 9 years (at $23 mil per) to a player that will turn 28 in May. Better get superstar returns in the first half of that contract.

terrible

so the top 2 first basemen in the NL move to the AL in the offseason

how long 'til he snaps from all of the Cecil questions now that he's in daddy's old stomping grounds?

Tigers hat - check
Cubs pants - check
Giants T-Shirt - check

People are freaking out here in the D! Cabrera hitting 4th and Fielder 5th. That's hard to pitch around.

Both will split time between first and dh.

Not sure what happens when V-Mart returns, but we will worry about that next year.

Go Tigers!

kind of like Hamilton/Beltre/Napoli/Cruz, wait no D only has 2 we have 4.

God I hope they put Miggy at 3B. That infield defense is going to be awesomely bad.

No kidding! Their collective girth has gotta be up around 350".

Hard to pitch around... and very easy to double up.

The Tigers owner is 83, he doesn't care about the end of this contract as he won't be alive. He wants to win now.

I don't know that I speculated on what he'd get a year. I said he wouldn't get 8 years... I didn't say he wouldn't get a longterm deal.

Over a month ago, I speculated 6 years. I think more than 6 years is insane, and barring recent Detroit panic... that might have been the limit.

I also warmed up to the idea, hearing he showed up last week much slimmer. I still think his weight will be an issue, and it was just an attempt to tease\lure teams...

Other than that... if you have a link, I'd be more than happy to defend.
