What’s it gunna’ take to put a Curtis Granderson or Edwin Jackson in your lineup, today?

No?  How about a 2010 Brandon Inge, with All-New knees?

Dave Dombrowski was very adamant about this not being a “Fire Sale.”

He may be right, but that certainly doesn’t waylay the concerns of Tigers fans that their whole team (save Justin Verlander or Rick Porcello) are priced to move under the right circumstances.

You would likely have a riot in Detroit if Curtis Granderson were traded to the evil empire (Yankees), regardless of what sweet package we would likely get in return.

Same thing goes for Brandon Inge.  Despite his combined .226 average over the past three seasons, there is a vocal group of Inge supporters that would sooner renounce their Tigers fandom than see Brandon traded away.

You could get Evan Longoria or Alex Rodriguez to play for Detroit for a dollar and they would still be upset and whine about it.

The Tigers certainly like to make a splash at the winter meetings, and it appears as though 2010 is no exception.

Despite an undefined payroll from Tigers Owner and King of the $5 Large Pizza Mike Ilitch, it would appear as though no one is sacred in Motown.

Are the Tigers serious about dealing?  Or are they testing the seemingly lucrative trade waters in a year of declining payrolls?
