December 14 in Tigers and mlb history:

1882 - At its first annual convention, the American Association establishes the first permanent staff of umpires in major league history. Previously, the National League and AA umpires were local men hired on game day by the home club.

1900 - Suffering from a drop in attendance in 1900, National League owners vote to cut costs with a 16-player limit after May 1st. The Players Association claims the move is aimed at pressuring players into signing by shrinking the number of jobs.

1922: In a joint meeting of the two leagues, the ban on non-waiver trades after June 15 is approved. The National League favors a 50-player limit until June 15, the American League votes for 40. Judge Landis breaks the deadlock in favor of 40.
Compensation of World Series umpires is changed from a percentage of the players' pool to a flat $2,000.

1922: Still smarting over the rejection of the official scorer's decision in the Ty Cobb case, the national baseball writers' group meets and votes to back the New York group's protest. Fred Lieb, who had filled in the Associated Press box score giving Cobb the disputed hit, asks Ban Johnson to revise the records to .399 for Cobb. Johnson complains of not receiving box scores from some writers, who are appointed by the clubs as official scorers.

1932: The Washington Senators get Earl Whitehill from the Detroit Tigers for Firpo Marberry and Carl Fischer.

1933: Goose Goslin of the Washington Senators is sent to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for John Stone.

1938 - Major league teams adopt several resolutions. The National League allows the Cincinnati Reds to play their season opener one day before other teams, as a way of honoring the 100th anniversary of baseball and of the 1869 Red Stockings being the first professional team.
In other news, Will Harridge is re-elected as American League president and given a 10-year term. The AL permits the Cleveland Indians and Philadelphia Athletics to play night games. Finally, the major leagues agree on a standard ball but disagree on increasing rosters from 23 to 25 players. Judge Landis will eventually decide on 25.

1953 - Detroit Tigers shortstop Harvey Kuenn, who led the AL in hits with 209 and hit .308 for the season, is voted American League Rookie of the Year.

1994: Labor talks headed by federal mediator Bill Usery aimed at settling the ongoing strike break down.

1998 - Detroit signs free agent C Bill Haselman to a two-year contract.

from mlbtraderumors

Heyman’s colleague Danny Knobler heard the Rangers are a possibility for Rick Porcello, who has also drawn interest from a number of National League teams, including the Pirates and Padres.

 

[kalinecountry]

A couple of rival executives are ?aghast? over Anibal Sanchez?s five-year, $80MM contract with the Tigers.
Jon Heyman suggests Sanchez is a better bet than C.J. Wilson, who signed for $77.5MM over five years last December.
