Miguel Cabrera has already changed his shape in an effort to change positions.
The Detroit Tigers slugger has dropped about 25 pounds this offeason, according to teammate Alex Avila in a recent TV interview. And Cabrera's trainer -- Radhi Muhammad of 4.40 Fitness -- is so proud of the progress, he's tweeting pictures of an obviously slimmer Cabrera.
Cabrera is working out with former Tigers teammate Magglio Ordonez in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Cabrera, a first baseman for most of his four seasons with the Tigers, was listed at a very generous 240 pounds last season.
Because of the recent acquisition of free-agent first baseman Prince Fielder, Cabrera is being asked by the Tigers to move to third base in 2012.
Cabrera came to the Tigers from the Florida Marlins as a third baseman in 2008, but lasted just 14 games there after committing five errors.
The Tigers begin spring training in Lakeland, Fla., later this month.
