The greatest Orioles news in forever

And it's because of this:
The Florida Marlins and Detroit Tigers have agreed in principle on a trade that will send Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to Detroit for key prospects, sources told ESPN's Peter Gammons on Tuesday.

The Tigers would send outfielder Cameron Maybin, pitcher Andrew Miller, catcher Mike Rabelo and minor league pitchers Eulogio De La Cruz, Dallas Trahern and Burke Badenhop to the Marlins.

The deal is expected to be announced Tuesday night when the physicals and paperwork are completed.

Why this does this matter to us? It means that, with Detroit coming out of nowhere to consummate the Cabrera trade, that the Angels, Dodgers, and a few other teams still are in the market for a right-handed hitting infield bat. And that means that the likelihood of a trade sending Miguel Tejada out of Baltimore are very, very good at the moment.

But if they send Erik Bedard to the Dodgers or to Toronto, they better get a massive haul (let's just say Matt Kemp and Jonathan Broxton good; anything involving A.J. Burnett, bad....)
