Tigers' Miguel Cabrera set for finale; Guardians' Terry Francona likely done
A legendary player will finish his career in Detroit on Sunday, and a highly accomplished manager likely will do so.
Cabrera, 40, began his major-league career with Florida in 2003 and was traded to Tigers before the 2008 season. The 12-time All-Star enters Sunday with 511 career homers and 3,173 hits. "I think it's relevant this weekend," manager A.J. Hinch said of finishing second."I don't know what it really tells you other than it gives you something to play for and people recognize it -- including our players, staff and organization. But this will be short-lived. You either make the playoffs or you don't."
The Tigers announced Friday that Cabrera would remain in the organization as a special assistant to president of baseball operations Scott Harris.Although Francona hasn't officially announced that he will retire, he is expected to do so formally soon.
