It was never about money. Though it's easy to think about the money now, as Miguel Cabrera recovers from surgery that repaired a ruptured biceps tendon, as he misses the rest of the year because of that injury he suffered last week, as he continues to earn close to $30 million a year.
And will for the next five years.
It's true that whenever someone says — or writes — that it's not about the money, it is, in fact, almost always about the money.
But, really, in this case, it isn't.
And wasn't.
