Miguel Cabrera is “washed up”
It’s hard to believe anyone would tweet something out like this or even think it, but that’s what is happening.
Miguel Cabrera kinda sucks now

A former Triple Crown winner and the recipient of 11 All-Star roster spots over his 15-year career is not something to be ashamed of. But memories are short, and people are saying Cabrera has lost his mojo.
The soon-to-be 34-year-old is signed through 2023 with the Detroit Tigers, so he isn’t exactly expected to hang up his cleats in the near future. Still, his age is certainly a factor as to why his numbers have declined. He’s not necessarily striking out a lot, but in 21 plate appearances so far, he’s only sporting a .118 batting average, and that could be a cause for concern.
Yes, he will eventually decline, and it might appear his decline is more abrupt than the slower-type of situation others have dealt with. When it comes to Miggy, the power is still there. He’s not washed up. We are just catching him at a bad time.
