Oh, I know the Tigers are in win yesterday mode, but that doesn't mean I won't try to objectively analyze their moves. Verlander is only signed for 2 more years, and Miggy 3. The Hunter move makes sense because it won't impact their payroll when they're going to need extra money to pay their two best players even more than they are now. Giving Sanchez the 5/70 or whatever he's going to get will hurt that. I'm not saying those are factors in the Tigers decision making, but they are factors in the reality of what happens in the future. If Illitch doesn't die w/ ring on his finger and a smile on his face, his lack of regard for fiscal constraint could make it a long time before the new ownership has a smile on theirs.
