LAKELAND, Fla. — He’s of the greatest players in franchise history, a future Hall of Famer who’ll be alongside Cobb, Greenberg, Kaline and Trammell in Detroit Tigers’ lore, but today, he is considered an albatross.
Miguel Cabrera is on a team going nowhere this season, a franchise building for the future, but one that’s paying an enormous disproportion sum of money for his performance of the past.
Cabrera, 35, may be viewed an aging first baseman these days, but was considered one of baseball's most feared hitters a few years ago.
