Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Perez, Morgan, Belt, Royals

By Mike Axisa | March 25, 2011 at 9:30am CDT

Three years ago today, the Tigers signed Miguel Cabrera to an eight-year, $152.3MM contract extension less than four months after acquiring him from the Marlins. It was the fifth largest contract in baseball history at the time, and it bought out two arbitration years plus six years of free agency. Despite some off-the-field trouble, Cabrera has more than held up his end of the bargain, hitting .314/.388/.567 with 109 homers since signing the deal.

Here is the latest baseball talk from around the web…

    the words-to-numbers ratio in sabathia blog was way the f to high, so maybe i missed something. but i didn’t hear any convincing reason for the yankees to let c.c. walk

    “Replacing CC would be hard but not impossible”, he says

    yeah? no. i can’t think of even one way to replace him that doesn’t involve impossible-level trades. and if you’re going to think about giving up that much, you should be giving up dollars instead of prospects imo
