Miguel Cabrera reiterated on Monday what has long been anticipated. The 2023 MLB season will likely be his last. The 12-time All-Star, two-time AL MVP and 2003 World Series champion told MLB.com that he's leaning toward retirement at the conclusion of next season. Cabrera, 39, is slated to make $31 million in 2023 on the final year of his eight-year, $248 million contract. Meanwhile, his star has been fading in Detroit since his last standard All-Star appearance in 2016. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred bestowed Cabrera with an honorary All-Star bid in 2022 as he slashed .254/.305/.317 with five home runs and 43 RBI on the season. Cabrera was among the most feared sluggers of his generation in a career that started in 2003 with the Florida Marlins before his move to the Tigers in 2008. In addition to his many awards, Cabrera is a four-time batting champion, a two-time home run champion and a two-time RBI champion. He secured the AL Triple Crown in his 2012 MVP season as the league leader in all three categories.
While his skills have diminished with age, his love for the game has not. His goal is to remain in baseball following his retirement as a player. "I have time to decide, but my goal is to stay in baseball, try to help, because I love baseball," Cabrera continued. With his 21st MLB season looming, Cabrera has already achieved numerous statistical milestones. He'll enter the 2023 season having tallied 3,088 hits, 507 home runs and 607 doubles. His career totals place him in the top 30 all-time in each category.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
