Undoubtedly Miguel Cabrera with 385 million is the Venezuelan with the most substantial deal in the majors. And as an interesting fact, the agreement with “Miggy” was shorter, since when he arrived in Detroit from Miami to his current club, he agreed in 2008 for eight years and 152.3 million.

However, an extension of 248 million was added, with two years and US$44 million remaining from the previous agreement. Cabrera briefly became the player with the highest annual salary in history at $31 million.
The star also in 2014 and due to that extension, he was the highest paid professional athlete and still today is in the top 25 of the highest salaries in MLB per year.
In his 21 seasons in the majors, Cabrera has received income in the order of $385,023,111, of which $374,561,111 have come during his 16 seasons in Detroit.
The interesting thing is that he had a chance to extend the agreement for two years, but he declined that option a long time ago. He knows that Detroit in the current athletic condition that he is in, he was not going to allow it. Since 2017, injuries have reduced his condition too much, in addition to the passing of the years.
