Cabrera, the ‘511 Home Run Man,’ Joins The Detroit Front Desk Right After Retirement

“Once a Tiger, always a Tiger.”

On the 30th (Korean time), Major League Baseball’s official website ‘MLB.com’ said, “Miguel Cabrera will end his career as a player this weekend, but he is already looking ahead to next season. The Detroit Tigers will support Cabrera, a former Triple Crown winner and two-time MVP. “We have appointed Scott Harris as special assistant to the Director of Baseball Operations,” he said. “He will assume that role after the end of the season.”

“Cabrera exemplifies what it means to be a Tiger, and we are grateful for 16 great seasons in Detroit,” Detroit Chairman and CEO Chris Ilich said in a statement. “Cabrera’s historic career makes him one of the greatest Detroiters in franchise history. “He was a great teammate and loved by the fans. I’m glad that our relationship can continue in the next chapter of Cabrera’s life.”

“I want to stay on this team and help. I want to do something. I don’t want to be a coach,” Cabrera said a few weeks ago, according to MLB.com. “I want to be around these guys. They’re special people and they’re growing.” “They’re maturing. I think they’ll be better next year,” he said.

“I hope he can teach our players,” Harris said. “I am honored to have Cabrera as our employee. Even though he has a new role, I know he will continue to build Detroit well.”

Cabrera played in the big league with the Florida Marlins (now Miami) in June 2003, and has since signed with Detroit for the 2008 season.

Cabrera’s career record is 3,170 hits, 511 home runs, 1,880 RBIs, 1,550 runs, batting .306 with an OPS of 0.900. Cabrera’s most brilliant moment was 10 years ago. Cabrera topped the American League batting average with 205 hits, 44 home runs, 139 RBIs, 109 runs scored, 0.330 batting average, and 0.999 OPS in the 2012 season, and won his first career MVP award, winning the Silver Slugger Award for third baseman and the Hank Aaron Award. In the 2013 season, he also won the MVP, No. 1 batting average, Silver Slugger Award, and Hank Aaron Award, with 193 hits, 44 homers, 137 RBIs, 103 runs, a batting average of 0.348 and an OPS of 1.078.
