Buzz: No Buzz on Miguel Cabrera
In the Detroit News, Lynn Hemming says, ‘Miguel Cabrera might be as available as Curtis Granderson, Edwin Jackson, or seemingly any Tigers player.’
According to Lynn, the Tigers have yet to receive a significant trade request for Cabrera.
Additionally, Lynn quotes Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski as saying, “I’m not getting into any names.”
… ok, so, the Tigers haven’t been offered an enticing deal for cabrera, who is no more or less available in trade than any other player on the team, and the GM will not say one way or another who is or isn’t available… yet, this didn’t stop hemming from dedicating 1,000 words to an entire article speculating on cabrera’s availability, and what the Red Sox would have to trade to get him…
…basically, hemming’s premise here is, because there is no evidence he isn’t available, we should talk about him being available… nevertheless, ESPN Rumor Central and MLB Trade Rumors then enter posts titled, ‘Cabrera on the block?,’ to which their entire post should technically read, ‘I don’t know,’ because, frankly, neither does hemming…
…sometimes i feel like these guys are reporting in the Bizarro Rumor Mill…
Update, 10:44 am:
…no, it would not surprise me to see cabrera traded, because he is essentially signed to a six-year, $106 million deal, which, frankly, is totally fair… but, until i see some pro-evidence suggesting it will happen, i don’t want to think about if he can be had or not…
