LAKELAND, Fla. — Clearly, Miguel Cabrera worked his butt off during the offseason.

And his gut.

As well as the chubbiness around his face.

Cabrera looks as if he had lost about 25 pounds when he showed up at the Tigers' clubhouse Monday morning. His face was noticeably thinner, and a compression shirt hung loose over a significantly smaller gut.

“When I hugged him, I actually reached around him,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said and laughed.
