Carros de miguel cabrera trade to detroit

Andrew Miller remembers driving down from his home in Gainesville, Fla. The fellow Tigers pitching prospect had traveled to see his girlfriend in Charlotte, N. I wonder who that could be for. And then five minutes later, my phone started ringing. It was wild.

Miguel Cabrera was traded to the Tigers 10 years ago today.

Cabrera wraps up his career this weekend at Comerica Park as one of three players in Major League history with 3, hits, home runs and doubles. Cabrera is the last of them still playing. None of the returning players could make up for Cabrera, of course, but half went on to have long, productive careers, and several crossed paths with Cabrera along the way.

While Cabrera settled into Detroit, Miller, who made 13 starts for the Tigers in , stepped into the Marlins rotation at age He went with a 5. The organization as a whole was good to me.

He never spent a full season in the Majors until he was traded in to the Padres, where his career took off.
