Cheap gift - and Cabrera is an alcoholic.

He didn't play for them. It's a symbolic gesture. I would understand if the Tigers dfa'd him and gave him a bottle of wine. For all they know he's a diabetic, and shouldn't give him a cake, they don't know him.

Maybe it could have been a more thoughtful gift, like this Nieman signed litho I bought all in for $82 on HA. Eck is there like a Sancho Panza.



On the 22%, it's okay as a buyer, I guess.

EVERYONE in baseball knows that Cabrera is an alcoholic. He's been in treatment, the Tigers famously had non-alcoholic champagne in the locker room, etc.

Truly cringe-worthy gift.

In April, the Astros gave him a bottle of wine, a bottle of champagne, and a cowboy hat. There are articles from the Spring that go on about how classy it was.

Sorry, OP, I can continue in the watercooler section on this topic if you guys want.
