Will Carroll Earnin' the Bucks...

'Cuz he's got the sources!

From the rumor mill at Baseball Prospectus:

The blockbuster that might have been between the Tigers and Marlins ... won't be. While discussions took place, the Marlins never got that serious, and don't think the package they'd get for both would be better than the return they could get for Cabrera. This isn't the only frustration the Marlins are feeling, as they watch the Rays making their push with the help of Florida Governor Charlie Crist while still not resolving their own stadium situation....

--Will Carroll, 2:45 p.m. ET

From Rotoworld:

Miguel Cabrera-3B-Marlins Dec. 4 - 7:29 pm et

In addition to Cameron Maybin, Andrew Miller and Mike Rabelo, the Marlins will get three right-handers in the Miguel Cabrera-Dontrelle Willis trade: Dallas Trahern, Eulogio De La Cruz and Burke Badenhop.
Excluding Rick Porcello, who was ineligible to be traded, Trahern and De La Cruz were the Tigers' top remaining pitching prospects. Trahern is a future middle-of-the-rotation starter, while De La Cruz profiles as a setup man or maybe a closer. Badenhop, like Trahern, is a sinkerballer with a modest strikeout rate. He has a chance to stick as a starter, but he's not quite as good of a bet.
