Morning Briefing: Miguel Cabrera Not Retiring Until After 2023

Good morning, Mets fans!

The Mets lost Friday night, 9-6. However, it was a hard fought game from the Mets, as they once trailed it 8-0. Liz Evangelou provided a further recap of the game. The Mets will play a doubleheader Saturday, with game one starting at 1:10 p.m. ET.

The highlight of the day was broken by Chris McCosky of Detroit News reported that Miguel Cabrera told him directly that he will not be retiring after the 2022 season. Instead, Cabrera intends on finishing out his contract and retiring after 2023.

This is interesting, because a lot of people were just assuming that he was going to be retiring after this season. Rob Manfred was even under the same premise, as he chose Cabrera to be in the All-Star Game for a “final time”.

The Tigers designated hitter has over 500 career home runs and over 3,000 hits, and will continue to add to those totals over the next year-plus.
