Detroit — The first order of business this offseason for Miguel Cabrera, as he said Tuesday, “No more arepas!”
He broke out laughing, but he was serious. Where last offseason he was recovering from biceps surgery and in the two offseasons before that he was dealing with the after-effects of core muscle surgery — this offseason, as his chronically painful right knee kept him out of the lineup for a third straight game, his primary focus will be on general conditioning and weight loss.
“He has to take a little bit a weight off that knee,” manager Ron Gardenhire said.
