DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers clubhouse was abuzz. Seated at a table were Andrew Romine and Joakim Soria, deeply engrossed in a game of chess played on a glass base, with frosted pieces. Miguel Cabrera was busy shouting "We've got to win!" at everyone. Ian Kinsler and Rajai Davis, among others, echoed Cabrera's sentiment. And in the back corner, near the lockers of Anibal Sanchez and Soria, was Joba Chamberlain, freshly designated for assignment after a year and a half with the team.
