Sun-Sentinel: Hyde: Miguel Cabrera misses ex-team and ex-teammates

And my plunging fantasy team misses Miquel Cabrera.

Don’t take this wrong. Cabrera likes Detroit. Likes his Tigers teammates. Thinks they’re going to be a good team. And, let’s be honest, this is the normal feeling-out process between a player and his new city, especially when the team is losing.

But, since he’s asked, yes, he misses the Marlins. And, since he’s asked, he never wanted to leave. And, since he’s asked, he still doesn’t believe they had to part with him.

“They called when they traded me and said, ‘We don’t have the money to pay you,’” he said. “...That’s the excuse they give. They have money.

“At first, I didn’t like [that] they traded me. But after a while you get used to it. It’s a business.”
