Would a $300 million Miguel Cabrera contract be a good move for the Tigers? Who is baseball's best player? Vote! »
Based on a career average of 607 at-bats per season and an average of $30 million annually, Cabrera would earn $49,423 per at-bat.
The Tigers completed the extension with Cabrera just a few days after talks broke off on a long-term deal with pitcher Max Scherzer, the reigning American
League Cy Young award winner.
The Tigers said that Scherzer and his agent, Scott Boras, rejected a long-term offer that would have placed Scherzer among the highest-paid pitchers in the
game, while Boras said it was the Tigers who took a pass on a multiyear offer from Scherzer.
Regardless of how the breakdown occurred, Scherzer's negotiations have been tabled. Barring a surprise, he will pitch for Detroit this season and hit the
open market as a free agent in November.
