Oakland A’s Clowned Over Miguel Cabrera $80 Wine Retirement Gift

The Oakland Athletics didn’t pull out many stops when it came to Miguel Cabrera‘s retirement gift — they simply handed the future Hall of Famer an $80 bottle of wine … and MLB fans everywhere have been clowning the org. over it ever since.

The gesture was supposed to be a sweet one … as Cabrera’s been landing gifts from teams throughout his final season in the Big Leagues this year — but many have been calling the A’s cheap over the present that they doled out on Thursday night.

After all, the team is worth over $1 billion … and there’s been a loud roar from social media users claiming it should have sprung for far more than some Cabernet Sauvignon.

Granted, the bottle was signed by the team … but supporters of the Tigers star have noted other teams have gone far more above and beyond for Cabrera during his last season.

For example … the New York Yankees gave the slugger his own custom subway sign of 161st Street and a $10k check for his foundation that aims to help young athletes by improving communities through sports and education.

The Los Angeles Dodgers got him his own Hollywood star … while the Angels gifted him a custom surfboard — since Cabrera is known to hit the waves here and there.

Some other notable mentions came from the Guardians, who gave Miggy a custom guitar; the Texas Rangers, who got him a custom saddle; and the Marlins, who hooked him up with cigars, a custom cigar box and his favorite rum.
