UPDATE: Gammons is now reporting that the Marlins and Angels are very close to pulling the trigger on a trade that would send Miguel Cabrera to the Angels for Nick Adenhart, Howie Kendrick, Jeff Mathis, and another prospect. If Florida was using the Tigers as leverage to close the deal, it looks, for now, like it worked. Expect the Tigers to focus hard on Dan Haren now. This rumor is all but dead.
UPDATE: The Detroit Free Press is saying that Miller or Maybin may be traded for Dan Haren instead, but probably not both of them together. Also, the Tigers are more interested in Cabrera than Willis, ...

In exchange for SP Dontrelle Willis and 3B Miguel Cabrera, the Marlins will receive OF Cameron Maybin and SP Andrew Miller as the headliners in a package full of young players.

WM DAY 2: Yankees make final offer for Santana
N/A —
From PeteAbe:
Just spoke to a Yankees Exec Who Can Be Trusted and learned this:
The YEWCBT said that Brian Cashman has made his final offer and will not toss in Ian Kennedy, Alan Horne or Austin Jackson. That would seem to favor the Red Sox but the Dodgers and Angels are now getting in the mix with the Yankees on the outskirts.
Hughes, Melky and a mid-level prospect. Take it or leave it.
The Angels have now entered the mix for Santana as well reports Buster Olney.
Here are a few other rumors:
Dan Haren’s name has been linked in two deals ...
Royals Sign Guillen
Royal Reflections —
If Dayton Moore was talking about looking past Jose Guillen as a tactic to catch his attention, it worked. The Royals and Guillen have agreed to a three-year $36 million deal and now the Royals have their power-hitting corner outfielder. But they might not be done yet. According to Ken Rosenthal at Fox Sports, Moore might also "make a run at another free-agent outfielder, Andruw Jones." Rosenthal also said the Royals are still in the bidding for Hiroki Kuroda. If the Royals were to sign Jones, it will be interesting to see what happens next with ...

... Jr." "I do not believe the Yankees are out of the Santana hunt yet." Well, OK, then. Actually that makes perfect sense. The Angels have a recent history of sniping players at the last second, usually with half of America unaware that they were even in the market - this includes their recent signing of Torii Hunter. No word yet on which fast food restaurant will host the signing if the deal goes through. Also worth keeping an eye on is this new rumor that sends Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to Detroit for pitching and ...

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7525396 | | | WOW. Coupling this with Santana going to the Sox, the Yankees are probably the #4 or 5 team in the AL next season. And this is even after we re-signed everyone. You have Detroit/Boston/Anaheim as the favorites to win their respective divisions, and then you have us, Cleveland, maybe Toronto fighting for the WC. And this is even after we re-signed everyone. Shi!tballs.

... According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the Braves are one of a few teams interested in Pittsburgh center fielder Nate McLouth. The 26-year old McLouth hit .258/.351/.459 in 120 games for the Pirates this past season. He’s the best option I’ve seen so far with a nice little power-speed combo and decent defense. McLouth, who had an .810 OPS last season, would seem like a more likely option if the Braves intend to start Schafer in 2009, and not a couple months into the 2008 season. ...

Detroit will also send two other prospects to the Marlins. In the short term, this deal helps the Mets (and the Phillies and the Braves). The Marlins' lineup just became much easier to pitch to, and their rotation -- Willis's sub-par 2007 notwithstanding -- is much less formidable.

... to be hard not seeing them around. I know we got some good players in the deal, but Miguel and Dontrelle are proven big league players, and it’s going to be tough to fill those roles. Miguel brings you more than 100 RBIs, 30 home runs and a .300 batting average, and while Dontrelle had a disappointing year last year, he’s a workhorse. He’s going to eat up 200 innings and he’s always healthy. It will be tough to replace those guys.”

Not only do the Mets have inferior prospects compared to the Dodgers, Angels, Mariners, and other teams chasing Bedard, but the Orioles are not an organization known for making these kinds of deals happen anyway. Not to mention the fact that Omar Minaya must be a little steamed over the whole Ramon Hernandez thing, especially now that the Orioles have decided that he’s available..
