Miguel Cabrera, the Detroit Tigers\u2019 star slugger, is entering the final year of his contract and doesn\u2019t want a big sendoff. Cabrera, who is entering his 17th season in the majors, has been a staple of the Tigers\u2019 lineup since 2008 and is the all-time leader in home runs, runs batted in, and hits for the franchise.<\/p>\n
Despite his accomplishments, Cabrera doesn\u2019t want a big farewell tour. \u201cI don\u2019t want to make a big deal out of it,\u201d he said. \u201cI just want to play and hopefully, I can hit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cabrera has had an illustrious career, winning two MVP awards and being named to 11 All-Star teams. He is also a six-time Silver Slugger award winner and a four-time batting champion.<\/p>\n
Cabrera\u2019s career has been hampered by injuries in recent years, and he is coming off a season in which he hit just .232 with 12 home runs and 44 RBIs in 107 games. He is hoping to bounce back in his final year with the Tigers and prove he still has something left in the tank.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know I can still play,\u201d Cabrera said. \u201cI\u2019m going to work hard this offseason and get ready for next season. I want to show people that I still have something left in me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cabrera is entering the final year of an eight-year, $248 million contract. He will be a free agent after the season, and it remains to be seen where he will end up. Regardless of the outcome, Cabrera will go down as one of the greatest players in Tigers\u2019 history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
