Cabrera is without question one of the true offensive stars of the 2010s, earning six All-Stars and two American League Most Valuable Player Awards after a great start with the Marlins. This was while he was a star slugger (two Slugging Titles) and a sleek hitter (three Batting and four On Base Percentage Titles). Impressively, “Miggy” has received MVP votes in his first nine seasons as a Tiger including back-to-back wins in 2012 and 2013, and was the catalyst behind some impressive Tiger squads in the 2010s that would go to the playoffs in four straight years (2011-14).
Although he is declining now, Cabrera should be a future Baseball Hall of Famer and will do so in a Detroit Lions hat. He reached the 500 career Home Run mark as a Tiger in 2021 and the 3,000 Hit cub in 2022. While Cabrera was namad an All-Star in 2022, his best days were long behind him and it felt more ceremonial. He had a nice farewell tour in 2023, wrapping up his run in Detroit with 373 Home Runs, 1,358 RBIs, and a Slash Line of .304/.380/.510.
