An uncertain future
At the moment, Miguel Cabrera has not commented on his future. In past statements he stated that he would like win a world series with the Detroit Tigers before retiring once his contract ends in 2023. However, in the opinion of the specialized sports journalist Mari Montes, it is early to anticipate the facts and talk about a professional baseball player’s retirement.
«Seeing him take a turn, in 2019, talking with a friend who was in the stadium watching him live, we said: Maybe we are facing Miguel’s last turns… and the story of these 3 yearsI have told them here, hit by hit, “wrote the journalist.
Montes assures that Cabrera must be in a lot of pain to have talked about the injury to the media. «He is not always so communicative about this matter, because he has never wanted it to be thought of as an excuse. Miguel has never looked for excuses. I wouldn’t get ahead of myself, because it’s Miguel Cabrera,” Montes settled.
