• Since news broke of the Marlins-Tigers blockbuster, Detroit left-hander Andrew Miller has not heard a word from anyone in the Tigers’ organization. One of Miller’s agents ran into Jim Leyland in the hotel lobby Tuesday night, and Leyland told him the deal wasn’t anywhere close to getting done. What is unclear is whether any of the eight players involved have to physically be examined, which is why the trade could be held up. So far, Miller and his agents have not been told anything. Word is that the deal might not be completed until after the winter meetings — unless there are other factors preventing it from getting done.

Miller, in fact, is working out at the Tigers’ spring training complex in Lakeland, Fla. He met with the trainers this morning, had his sore left knee worked on, and is now out playing golf with some of his teammates. Late in the season, Miller had an MRI on his left knee, where it turned out there was some mild cartilage damage. He’s been rehabbing it ever since. Since he’s officially still a Tiger, he wasn’t denied treatment.

*Update*

• Andrew Miller got a phone call within the hour from Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski that he was traded to Florida, which signals that the deal is official.

Thanks to Tim for the info
