Sorry, Chicago: Anibal Sanchez returns to Tigers on five-year, $80 million deal (Big League Stew)

It looks like Anibal Sanchez is headed back to the Detroit Tigers after all.
Despite Thursday night reports that the 28-year-old right-hander had agreed to a big deal with the Chicago Cubs, Sanchez is returning to the Tigers on a five-year contract worth $80 million. The news of the C.J. Wilson-type deal was first reported by Bob Nightengale of USA Today on Friday morning.
Though Sanchez has had his moments during his career, the fact he'll be getting $16 million per season says a lot more about the current market than it does his talents, which have ranked just above average. Sanchez posted a 3.74 ERA �in 12 starts and 74.2 innings for the Tigers after being acquired in a midseason trade from Miami. He pitched a lot better in the playoffs with a 1.77 ERA over three starts, displaying the No. 2 starter potential that have kept people interested in him for so long.Regis Philbin Serena Williams Ryan Seacrest Wolfgang Puck Venus Williams Annika Sorenstam Matthew Broderick/ Nathan Lane Mel Brooks Emeril Lagasse
