Here's about the most horrific stats I've ever come up with and shows the perils of giving a superstar a really long-term back-ended contract.
At the end of the 2016 season, Miguel Cabrera had played in 2,095 games and hit 436 home runs. That's a 162-game average of 34 homers per season.
From 2017 through today's game, he has played in 681 games and hit 63 home runs. That's a 162-game average of 15 homers per game.
He got to 500 home runs on August 22, 2021. He's played in 221 games since then and has only hit NINE more.
