July 3 ? Miguel Cabrera injures his left calf.

The Detroit slugger would not play again until Aug. 14, and the team he came back to looked far different than the one he left. The Tigers went 15-20 in the interim and were in bad enough shape at the deadline that they traded stars David Price and Yoenis Cespedes. Price led Toronto to the AL East title, and Cespedes played a huge role for the New York Mets in their NL East championship.

Shortly after the deadline, the Tigers let general manager Dave Dombrowski go. He?s now running things in Boston, so the butterfly effect from Cabrera?s injury could last awhile.

The Tigers had two pitchers (Anibal Sanchez, Alfredo Simon) with 25 starts and ERA+ below 80, the fourth time for Detroit (all since 1990), tied with the Senators/Twins (all before 1961) for the most for any franchise.
Detroit also had ten players with 15 doubles, tied with four other Bengal teams (all since 1999) for the most in franchise history.
