MLB trade rumors: Houston Astros targeting Miguel Cabrera.
Everyone’s favorite Tiger might be on the move this winter, and Houston is the first potential suitor.

Detroit Tigers: Houston Astros Interested in Miguel Cabrera.
mcbtb

With money to spend, the Astros are expected to pursue a big-ticket bat, per Jon Morosi of MLB Network. There has long been at least some reason to believe the ’Stros would be in on free agent Edwin Encarnacion, and that’s a possibility per the report.
More intriguingly, though, Morosi suggests that Houston will look into dealing for Tigers superstar Miguel Cabrera. There are a number of barriers to that kind of move, of course. While Morosi posits that fellow Venezuelan Jose Altuve could be part of a sales pitch to get Cabrera to waive his no-trade protection, that’s but one element.
Astros GM Jeff Luhnow said yesterday that he prefers not to part with young assets to make a deal, and surely Detroit will want something back for a player who is still producing premium offensive numbers at 33 years of age. But he’s getting up in years, is limited to first base or DH, and is still owed $220MM over the next seven seasons.

November 10 in Tigers and mlb history:

1888 - In Detroit, MI, a club is organized to compete in the International Association next season to take the place of the disbanded Detroit Wolverines, fifth-place finishers this past season in the National League. The Wolverines sell off their stars, including Big Sam Thompson going to the Philadelphia Quakers, and the so-called "Big Four" Dan Brouthers and Hardy Richardson to the Boston Beaneaters and Jack Rowe and Deacon White to the Pittsburgh Alleghenys.

1948 - In a move that will give them a pitching ace for the next decade, the Chicago White Sox acquire young lefthander Billy Pierce from the Detroit Tigers for All-Star catcher Aaron Robinson. The Tigers even sweeten the deal with $10,000. Pierce will win 186 games for the White Sox over the next 13 years. Robinson will last fewer than three seasons in Detroit.

1998 - Tigers Hall of Fame pitcher Hal Newhouser dies in Detroit. Newhouser won the Most Valuable Player Award in both 1944 and 1945, leading the Tigers to the World Series title the latter year. The lefty won 29 games in 1944 and 25 more in 1945.

2006 - The Tigers acquire Gary Sheffield from the Yankees in a trade in which they send three prospects to New York. The veteran righthanded slugger spends two years with the Tigers, hitting 44 home runs primarily as their designated hitter.

VERSATILITY IN PLAYOFFS A PLUS FOR AYBAR?
One of the trends that emerged this postseason was the advantage that versatile players bring to a team. Erick Aybar, who switch hits and can field a few positions, could benefit from such as a free agent, Eno Sarris writes. Most valuable commodities. (EspnInsider)
