Miguel Cabrera talks 2023 MLB exit: 'I think it's time to say goodbye to baseball'

Miguel Cabrera reiterated on Monday what has long been anticipated.

The 2023 MLB season will likely be his last. The 12-time All-Star, two-time AL MVP and 2003 World Series champion told MLB.com that he's leaning toward retirement at the conclusion of next season.

“I think it's going to be my last year," Cabrera said. "It feels a little weird to say that. I thought, 'I'm not going to say never,' but I think it's time to say goodbye to baseball.”

Cabrera, 39, is slated to make $31 million in 2023 on the final year of his eight-year, $248 million contract.
