Cabrera already has incredible career statistics, he already has 44 rWAR (baseball-reference), and he is going into his age 30 season. Oh yah, he also won the triple crown in 2012.

Kate Upton & Justin Verlander: New Year?s in St. Thomas at the Ritz Carlton, According to a Report http://ow.ly/2u48we ?

Cy Young/MVP winning multi-millionaire MLB ace SP who as a Tiger is likely to be offered @ a potential contract extension of perhaps 6 years @ maybe an AAV of ~$$$30MM per, and while banging one of the hottest supermodels in the world..sigh.

Does Verlander get confused when Up-ton moans "Ohhh...Just-in" when he is doing her? :hehe:

4. Rafael Soriano, RP
Reiter 50 Rank: 10
2012 Team: Yankees

New Rule: if you're a relief pitcher heading into free agency and your team makes you an offer that will add a draft pick to your price, accept the offer. Teams were reluctant to surrender a draft pick for a relief pitcher before the new Collective Bargaining Agreement put the pinch on above-slot spending. Now that amateur bonuses are so tightly controlled, giving up a pick and a portion of that bonus pool for a relief pitcher is something teams simply won't do. If a team wants a so-called proven closer, Brian Wilson, Jose Valverde and Matt Capps are still out there, but of those three, only Wilson has drawn any interest. With Wilson coming off Tommy John surgery, Soriano has the better projection for 2013, but that draft pick and his distaste for set-up work have all but silenced the market for his services as the latter eliminates a return to the Yankees who were frustrated with his performance in a set-up role in 2011.

Best fit: Tigers. Scott Boras, Soriano's agent, has reportedly been trying to make this match all offseason, but Detroit isn't biting, insisting they'll give fireballing rookie Bruce Rondon the first shot at the closer job and can swap him out for playoff closer Phil Coke or set-up men Joaquin Benoit or Octavio Dotel if necessary. That's exactly the right approach for Detroit to take, but at the same time, there's no other team that so clearly lacks an established closer candidate while also projecting as a strong-enough contender in 2013 to justify sacrificing a draft pick for the marginal upgrade to Soriano.
