Option officially declined
The Tigers declined Cabrera's $30 million option for 2024 on Friday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This was a formality, of course, as Cabrera will receive an $8 million buyout and head into retirement. The future Hall of Famer will finish his career with 511 home runs, 3,174 hits, two MVPs and one triple crown.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to platoon
Cabrera is likely to platoon at DH in 2023, reports Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.
ANALYSIS
Woodbery points out that Cabrera has a .831 OPS against lefties and a .682 OPS against righties since 2017, giving the Tigers incentive to platoon the veteran for what is likely to be his final season. Detroit projects to have four left-handed hitters on its Opening Day roster -- Riley Greene, Austin Meadows, Akil Baddoo and Kerry Carpenter -- and Cabrera could spell any of them against lefties. Perhaps Cabrera can channel Albert Pujols and have a renaissance by crushing southpaws during his swan song in the majors.

It appears that 2023 will be the end of the road for Cabrera's storied career, though his fantasy utility mostly evaporated a few seasons ago. The veteran will turn 40 in April, and with the Tigers on the hook to pay $32 million in the final season of the eight-year, $248 million deal signed by Cabrera back in 2014, it's no surprise that he wants to give it a go one final time. Cabrera batted a respectable .254 in 2022, though he dipped to just five home runs and 43 RBI. The home runs were his fewest since 2018, when he played in only 38 games due to injuries and hit three long balls. His 43 RBI were his fewest since tallying 35 during the condensed 2020 campaign. As further evidence of his decline, Cabrera saw his ISO fall to career-worst .063. By comparison, he registered a .276 ISO in 2012 and a .288 ISO in 2013, when he won back-to-back MVP awards. Cabrera's power is all but gone, and as a player who's never really been a stolen base threat, there's not much fantasy appeal here. He's a lock to enter the Hall of Fame in a few years and was once a fantasy force, but present-day Cabrera can't be counted on for much production.
