JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Detroit Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski says the latest allegations of belligerent behavior by Miguel Cabrera won’t change his status with the team.
Documents released by the Florida state attorney’s office accuse Cabrera of threatening a manager at a restaurant shortly before his arrest Feb. 16 in Fort Pierce on suspicion of drunken driving.
Cabrera has struggled with drinking-related problems in the past. After reporting to spring training last month following his arrest, the Tigers slugger said he would undergo treatment set up by doctors administered by management and the players’ union.
Cabrera worked out Thursday at the team complex in Lakeland and wasn’t with the Tigers for their game against Florida.
