The 28–year-old Garland, who will earn $12 million next season, won 18 games in each of 2005 and 2006, but has posted an ERA lower than 4.00 only once in the last five seasons.

He is eligible to be a free agent after next season.

Meanwhile, Cabrera will earn $9 million next season, after which he can be a free agent.  In 155 games for the Angels last season, Cabrera hit .301 with eight HR, 35 doubles and 20 stole bases.
