Miguel Cabrera takes on first official coaching role post-retirement

Detroit Tigers great Miguel Cabrera has been retired since 2023. Daughter Isabella and the rest of his family were there at Comerica Park during his emotional send-off.

Miggy has been following his kids' athletic careers since his retirement. But it seems he is ready to take on a new role in his post-playing days. In March, he returned to the Tigers as a special assistant.

And earlier this month, he was named the hitting coach for Team Venezuela for the 2026 World Baseball Classic.

"I have to be in uniform for that one, even if it's to be the water boy," Cabrera said March 12 in a Spanish interview with El Extrabase. "I just want to support the guys and be there for whatever they need. We can do a great job with the amount of talent we have."

Cabrera played five times for his home country in the World Baseball Classic. He was part of the teams that finished fourth in 2009 and fifth in 2023. The upcoming tournament will begin on March 5, 2026.
