Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera was asked by Robinson Cano to participate for the American League squad in the Home Run Derby during the All-Star break, MLive.com reports Monday. Cabrera doesn't know if he wants to compete.
Cabrera confirmed he's been asked, but said it depends on how his back is feeling. He's missed some time due to the back issue in recent days.
"Yeah, he already asked me," Cabrera said after Monday's 4-2 win. "I say it depends how my back is feeling. If that's OK, I will do it."
Cabrera has hit 28 homers this season with a major-league leading .364 average and 90 RBI over 87 games. He would be joining Cano, Chris Davis and Prince Fielder in the star-studded AL lineup for the derby if he does participate.
"I tell him, maybe I'll do it but you've got to put Prince on there," Cabrera said. "You've gotta put Prince first, then me. He win last year, so he deserves to be there again."
