Miguel Cabrera’s injury leaves a job opening at first base

As the dust settles from the shock and heartbreak following the events of Tuesday’s Tigers game, a few things are abundantly clear. Miguel Cabrera’s season is over, and the Detroit Tigers are in need of an everyday first baseman.

Cabrera, who was relatively fresh off a disabled list stint, ruptured the tendon in his left biceps, and will need a season-ending surgery to repair the damage. It’s about the worst news the team could imagine, especially considering that Cabrera was looking strong and healthy to start the season, showing flashes of his old brilliance.
