Detroit Tigers and Miami Marlins great Miguel Cabrera is not quite done with professional baseball. Before he retired from his Hall of Fame worthy 21-year career after the 2023 season, Cabrera expressed a desire to play one more season back in the place where he made his start in professional baseball. Now he’ll give it a go with the Tigres de Aragua, who play out of his hometown of Maracay.
The Venezuelan League doesn’t get started until October, so perhaps the Tigers will see him around the team, or at least around their Lakeland home base, in his role as special assistant to Scott Harris this summer.
