KISSIMMEE, Florida -- Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers reached a preliminary agreement Saturday on an eight-year, $153.3 million contract extension, a source close to Cabrera told ESPNdeportes.com on condition of anonymity.
The All-Star third baseman will undergo a physical on Monday to complete the deal, the source said.
"Miguel just signed a big contract," said the source. "The contract will be completed when Miguel takes a physical on Monday."
Overall, it would become the fourth-richest contract in baseball history. Cabrera would trail Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez ($275 million), Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter ($189 million) and Boston outfielder Manny Ramirez ($160 million) in the total salary package listing.
Contd...

David Wright's 6-year, 55 million dollar contract looks like a bargain compared to this.

I'd rather have Cabrera than A-Rod. Maybe I'm crazy.

I'm more of a BA guy than HR's. HR's are pretty overrated IMO. I'll take the extra .35-.40 in BA than 10-15 HR's.
Plus I prefer my third-baseman to be non lip-stick wearing, shirtless tanning in central park kind of guys.
