Tigers' Miguel Cabrera back in court Dec. 11, as child-support case nears resolution

Miguel Cabrera might just be in the home stretch for the holidays.

The Detroit Tigers star slugger has a court date set for Dec. 11 in Orlando, Fla., on what could be the final day of a child-support case that stretches back to August 2017.

Lawyers for Cabrera and his former mistress, Belkis Mariella Rodriguez, will be in the Ninth Circuit Court of Florida before Judge Alan S. Apte, who is presiding over a bench trial in the dispute over how much money Cabrera should be forced to pay Rodriguez for two children they had together.

The bench trial began in November and stretched five days, before adjourning until December.
