Miguel Cabrera Signs 10-year, $292-million deal
2010 Topps Allen & Ginter # 139 Miguel Cabrera Autographed
It looks like Cabrera will finish his career with the Tigers. Cabrera is an amazing hitter. If you watch the Tigers daily, you'll see that he's special. He just hits...he always hits. He consistently gets the runners in from 2nd and 3rd base. He's a triple crown winner, MVP, and has a chance to be one of the greatest players in the history of baseball.
The obvious question is: can he stay healthy? Cabrera's body broke down at the end of last year. Weight has always been a concern. He's 30 now. How healthy will he be a 37? Getting him back to playing first base will help.
The Tigers have two of the biggest names in baseball locked up in long term contracts - Verlander and Cabrera. The time to win it all is now.
Gerald Laird & Miguel Cabrera March 21, 2014
We had great seats for yesterday's spring training game against the Braves at Disney, allowing me to get some good photos. Miguel Cabrera took a moment to catch up with former Tigers catcher Gerald Laird before his first at bat. Laird was with the Tigers in 2009, 2010 and again in 2012. Less then a minute later, Miggy wasn't very happy, as he had to lean back from a pitch at chin level.

Spring training parks allow you to be extremely close to the action. I took this shot of Cabrera yesterday at Joker Marchant Stadium, home for the Tigers spring training. Check out his new orange and black first baseman's glove. The Tigers beat the Astros 5-1. Cabrera went 1-2 with a run scored.
