Short Term Cabrera

The Tigers and Miguel Cabrera avoided arbitration today as they settled on an $11.3 million deal.

The team is of course trying to sign him to a long term deal, and I wouldn't view this as an indication there are any problems on that front. This is a matter of taking care of arbitration business (Dombrowski just doesn't do arbitration). I'd venture a guess that the two sides are still working on a long term extension.

No doubt. Miguel is finding out the Tigers do things differently than the Marlins. They had no problem giving him a $4 million raise, and I'm guessing he'll get a lot more before the season starts.
