March 29, 201412 yr Love it. As a Tigers fan and an even larger Miguel Cabrera fan I love it. I wonder if you are in the minority? This type of contract has proven to be bad for the team. Some big money teams can take it better than others and I don't see Detroit as one of those who can if/when he declines.

But they've got a team capable of winning the World Series now and have the pitching to be competitive for the next 5 seasons. If they win a World Series or two in that time frame is it worth going through 4-5 years of rebuilding because of bad contracts? The Tigers haven't won a Series since 1984, Ilitich probably isn't too concerned with 10 years from now. I'd wager that this move was dictated by him and not the front office.
