Detroit's Blockbuster Deal December 4th, 2007 at 7:09 pm

By Kris Richardson

On the Day a Johan Santana trade will likely be finalized, the Detroit Tigers have stolen the show by landing Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis in exchange for some stud prospects including Andrew Miller, Cameron Maybin and Mike Rabelo.

There will be no other trade that sends two higher profile players in one direction this off season. Granted, Dontrelle is not coming off a very good year, but this is obviously bad news for the Twins who will have to share a division with likely one of the powerhouses of the AL for the next several years.
