DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers
Several days ago, Miguel Cabrera revealed that he?d like to stay in baseball, preferably with the Tigers, when he retires from playing. After this year, he has 1 more year on his contract before Detroit buys out his option for both 2024 and 2025.
Under the Hinch era, Miggy has noticeably changed his demeanor which has not gone unnoticed throughout the baseball world. He has taken on a more visible role in mentoring the younger players and coaching others on their hitting.
He has become more approachable and a positive influence in the clubhouse.
A far cry from earlier years in which he reluctantly participated in bonding with his teammates.
Cabrera also took on a bigger role in partnering with the Front Office as they looked to sign free agents. Miggy had conversations with almost everyone of interest to discuss what it was like playing for the Tigers and why they should want to come. Several players admitted that Miggy?s ?sell? convinced them to sign with Detroit.
After next year, where should Cabrera go within the organization if the Tigers are interested in keeping him? Should he stay at the MLB level and work with the Front Office or as an assistant hitting coach as he learns his new role?
Or would he best serve the organization within the minor league system and new Player Development department as a hitting instructor for either AAA or as a regional one who works with several different levels?
