Cabrera has recently admitted that the chronic pain in his right
Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera is one of, if not the, most fearsome right-handed hitters of this generation, that is not up for debate. Sure, Albert Pujols deserves a mention in the conversation but nobody has been a more complete hitter than Miggy in the past 20 years or so.
Detroit — For the first time, aging Detroit Tigers legend Miguel Cabrera just doesn’t know. Ahead of Thursday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Cabrera, 39, said that he’s not sure if the chronic pain in his knee will force him to retire after this season.

Results added to the general disgust felt by many after a season holding some promise has now officially dwindled into a smoldering ash heap of disappointment.
From his childhood home to the ballfield just down the street, Lou Whitaker provides an engaging tour of his world before he became one of the best second basemen to ever play major league baseball.

Less than an hour before the trade deadline passed the Detroit Tigers traded Michael Fulmer to the Minnesota Twins for RHP Sawyer Gipson-Long.

MINNEAPOLIS — Michael Fulmer sat on the couch inside the Detroit Tigers‘ clubhouse Tuesday and couldn’t help but check his phone for the latest trade rumors.
