2023 Fantasy Outlook
It appears that 2023 will be the end of the road for Cabrera's storied career, though his fantasy utility mostly evaporated a few seasons ago. The veteran will turn 40 in April, and with the Tigers on the hook to pay $32 million in the final season of the eight-year, $248 million deal signed by Cabrera back in 2014, it's no surprise that he wants to give it a go one final time. Cabrera batted a respectable .254 in 2022, though he dipped to just five home runs and 43 RBI. The home runs were his fewest since 2018, when he played in only 38 games due to injuries and hit three long balls. His 43 RBI were his fewest since tallying 35 during the condensed 2020 campaign. As further evidence of his decline, Cabrera saw his ISO fall to career-worst .063. By comparison, he registered a .276 ISO in 2012 and a .288 ISO in 2013, when he won back-to-back MVP awards. Cabrera's power is all but gone, and as a player who's never really been a stolen base threat, there's not much fantasy appeal here. He's a lock to enter the Hall of Fame in a few years and was once a fantasy force, but present-day Cabrera can't be counted on for much production. Read Past Outlooks

Stat Review
How does Miguel Cabrera compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

The Tigers have rightfully turned to a youth movement around the diamond, though Cabrera's regular presence as the designated hitter and at first base served as one exception in 2021. Not only was Cabrera a near full-time player, he also hit exclusively third or fourth in the order. That helped mask a further decline in skill. Though he still has a relatively strong contact profile to go along with an above-average barrel rate and average exit velocity, Cabrera's decline in power has come primarily from his inability to lift the ball. His 48.2 GB% was the highest mark of his career across a full season and resulted in an abysmal .129 ISO and .386 slugging percentage. Looking ahead to 2022, Cabrera is not only at risk of a further dip in skill as he enters his age-39 season, but he also could shift to a lower spot in the order as the Tigers are set to welcome Javier Baez and likely Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson to their everyday lineup.
