Detroit Tigers Team Notes

Per MLB Network's Jon Heyman, it's down to #Tigers and Cardinals for Dotel. Would be team No. 13 in his career if he comes to Detroit.
Tigers had Jim Leyland call Dotel to express their interest in him.
Dotel was supposed to have been ready to re-sign with the Cardinals. Tigers got involved, which is no surprise. Nothing final yet.
Leyland a few years ago complimented Dotel (White Sox) on his shoes. Dotel bought him a pair just like them. There's chemistry there.
Tigers are now dominating the Winter Meetings scene with talk of Octavio Dotel.
Only thing moderately surprising is that DD isn't waiting out the market for prices to come down, as they are sure to do.

ROGO, the DNG Tigers blogger can be correct, snarky, and a riot.
I lam iterally roaring at some of things he says about players, writers, etc.

Detroit Tigers Team Notes

December 8 in Tigers and mlb history :

1916 - The National Commission fines 51 players $25 to $100 for performing in post-season exhibitions. Among the guilty: Babe Ruth, Jack Barry, Duffy Lewis, 10 other Red Sox players, and Ty Cobb.

1939: At the December meeting of both leagues in Cincinnati, Judge Landis votes against all amendments favorable to farm systems. The Rules committee, with an eye towards raising declining batting averages, votes to restore the sacrifice fly for 1940. Seven American League owners push through a new rule barring the American League champion from making any trades within the league. Clearly aimed at the Yankees, winners of the last four World Series, the National League owners decline to vote it for their league.

1951 - The American League alters its restrictions on night games, adopting the National League's suspended game rule and lifting its ban on lights for Sunday games.

1962 - Former major leaguers Frank Crosetti and Johnny Schulte bring suit to prevent any increase in pension benefits which fails to include players from different eras.

2008: The Detroit Tigers try to shore up a gap at catcher by acquiring Gerald Laird from the Texas Rangers. They give up two pitching prospects, Guillermo Moscoso and Carlos Melo.
