Miguel Cabrera and the Tigers agreed Friday to a one-year contract worth $11.3 million, avoiding salary arbitration before the third baseman's first season with the team. Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis joined Detroit as part of a trade with Florida in December. The Marlins received a package of six players, including two highly rated prospects: left-hander Andrew Miller and outfielder Cameron Maybin. Cabrera, 24, can become a free agent after the 2009 season, but the Tigers hope to keep him long term.
