• The Tigers have won the *Miguel Cabrera* sweepstakes. Detroit will get
Cabrera and *Dontrelle Willis* from Florida for six players -- *Cameron
Maybin*, *Andrew Miller*, catcher *Mike Rabelo* and three minor league
prospects.

• The Orioles and Dodgers may be close on a deal that will send
left-hander **Erik Bedard** to Los Angeles, a baseball source said. The
O's are in need of a center fielder and a closer who can play at the
major league level, and the Dodgers seem willing to part with outfielder
*Matt Kemp* and reliever *Jonathan Broxton*, who could come in a close
in lieu of *Chris Ray*, out for the year after Tommy John surgery. "They
want Bedard bad," said the source.

Can't say I'm thrilled about how willing Ned is to ship Kemp (and
Broxton) away, but at least Cabrera is officially no longer a concern.
