Lakeland, Fla. – His mission this offseason was to lose some weight and get his body leaner in hopes of taking some stress off his chronically-damaged right knee.
At least upon first sight Monday morning, it was mission accomplished for Tigers Miguel Cabrera.
“Yeah, when I hugged him I could actually reach around him,” joked manager Ron Gardenhire.
Cabrera wouldn’t say exactly how much weight he lost, but a conservative estimate would be 25 pounds.
