I am assuming Detroit will trade one of their starting pitchers as well to get back a decent prospect.

In reality there’s no way any other team touches that Cabrera contract. The Tigers would have to pay you to take him off their hands, as freeing up that massive salary hit would greatly accelerate their rebuild.

I agree nobody in baseball will take on Miggy's contract. The marlins have the payroll and a good young prospects coming up. They would have to package Miggy with one of their better pictures which might work out pretty well for the marlins.

You think a in game trade for Miggy and Fulmer could be had? I agree in real life not a chance in hell will Miggy being anything other than a Tiger until that contract is up.

I don’t think it makes sense for a team like the Tigers to package up anything of real value to mainly just move a bad contract. They aren’t a small market team that would be really desperate to get his contract off the payroll, or in a position where freeing up that money could help them win now. If you won’t take Miggy by himself it makes more sense for Detroit to just ride out the contract while their rebuilding anyway and keep racking up top draft picks till the young talent starts hitting the majors then give up anything to move him.

I see your point however taking just Miggy I wouldn't have to give anything of substance. I figured they would give up a pitcher along with Miggy to get something better back plus they have quite a few really good pitchers coming up.

What do you think I would have to give up to get Miggy by himself then?

If you take all of the contract, you can just choose some scrub in A ball to send them. But I cannot see them trading a real asset on top of Miggy. He's expensive but they don't have a huge amount long term commitments so they would likely rather keep their valuable pitchers or trade them away for real assets

Miguel Cabrera= -$120.6

To even get back to $0, the tigers would have to give up Mize ($66.7), Boyd ($42.4) and Candelerio ($17.7).

They’re not going to even think about that.

Thanks to his contract he really has zero value on the trade market. The Tigers would jump at the chance to simply unload the rest of that contract. Only way they could get anything of value back is if they ate the vast majority of the remaining salary and then the return probably wouldn’t make it worth doing in the first place.

Clearing that salary without giving anything up would be a huge win for them.

Very true guys, thanks for your thorough inputs. And no way the Tigers trade 3 top prospects plus Miggy just to get rid of his contract, that would be suicide.

I am coming up on the trade deadline so I will be back to see what your thoughts are on some deals in my franchise. Thanks again.
