Smart request by the Marlins. Pudge would be a great field and clubhouse presence on that very young team. I thought Detroit was through with him after this year? Why not cash in? I don't expect both the White Sox and Twins to to fade. The wild card is coming out of the East.

Good trade for the Marlins. Get a prospect for him.

Tigers are through this year..;)) so speculating is void..

I thought the Tigers wanted to move Pudge, but only after Inge came back from the DL

hes overrated

Why'd they get rid of him in the first place...he was the best catcher in the game when he was with them.

Make the Fish take Sheffield too and you've got yourself a deal!

They got rid of everyone that made any money after their last WS title

Return the favor for making the Tiger take Willis?

I thought the Tigers would be pretty weary in any more trades with the Marlins after we pulled a fast one on them when we gave them Willis. I'd welcome Ivan in South Florida anyday

maybe they should have thought about that when they had him in the first place. kind of tired of hearing about players going back to teams they where once with.

being a tigers fan and a pudge fan id like to see the tigers have a 1 week window to get a 2 year extension done for around 8 mill a year and if that doesnt happen then trade him to florida for some prospects....

The Tigers expressed reluctance to trade a "Pudge" but said there is an "Inge" available !!!

This is very suprising, since after he saved the marlins and inspired the team to the WS, and lead the team on the field, then was turned down for $ 10 mil a year for 4 years, the guy was worth his weight in gold, now he is much lighter in weight, quicker behind the plate and the marlins want him back. The guy was a very important piece to their success when he was with them, but no reward.

Maybe the Tigers can get Maybin back for him

hahaha doubtful...Sounds good, but wishful thinking.

Don't count the Tigers out yet. They are slowly creeping up on the White Sox and Twins. They aren't out of it just yet. Only 6.5 games out with over 65 games left is still a margin they can make up.

I agree. Even though they blew tonight, I think the Tigers have a shot in the central, the sox and twins will cool off. I'd also really like to see Pudge retire a Tiger, but they can get rid of Sheff, Renteria, and Fernando Rodney if they want.

Not a bad idea here, either^
