Cabrera to stay in Boston
Slugger signs extension
Monday, November 1, 2010

BOSTON - With the deadline for players to file for free agency looming, thirdbaseman Miguel Cabrera decided to stay with the Red Sox for the next 3-4 years.
Cabrera signed a three-year deal with a mutual option for a fourth season. He will be guaranteed $80.75 million over the next three years with the option year coming in at $23 million. He also has a clause in the deal that will pay him an additional $600,000 if he wins the MVP award. Cabrera, 27, would be 31 at the end of the contract if both parties exercise the option for the 2014 season.
Cabrera hit .352 with 32 home runs, 112 RBI, 55 doubles, 6 triples, 9 stolen bases and scored 125 times in 2010. He is a lifetime .340 hitter with 245 home runs, 1,007 RBI and 1,733 hits.
He was named the 2002 NL Rookie of the Year with the Cincinnati Reds, hitting .300 with 16 homers and 64 RBI in 148 games. He was traded to the Red Sox for outfielder Vernon Wells in 2003 spring training and has since been named to seven All Star teams and won back-to-back MVP awards in 2008 and 2009.
