Also known as Miggy, Miguel was raised in the La Padrera neighborhood alongside his sister, Ruth Cabrera Torres by their parents who were not strangers to baseball as they played a little of it when they were in their early years. Hence it was easy for them to encourage him to play some more, and there were also his uncles Jose Torres and David Torres, who were there to coach him.

At a point, Miggy got to become one of the most sought-after baseball players in the whole of South America. This helped him to be signed in 1999 by the Marlins as a free agent. He remained in the minor league before he got promoted to the MLB in 2003 to play for the Florida Marlins. In 2008, he made a move to the Detroit Tigers in a trade. It is with the team that he remained with till 2014 when he signed a $248 million contract extension that would have him stay till 2022 or even more.

In order to save his marriage, Cabrera came to a deal with his wife to cut off all ties with Belkis Rodriguez and because of that, he decided to change his number and stop paying child support for the kids who as of February 2018 were 5 and 2 years old.

It was, however, later revealed that what she was looking to get was $100,000 considering the fact that he was making $30 million annually.
