Tigers, Cabrera agree to $292 million deal

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers have agreed to pay Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera a baseball-record $292 million over the next 10 years, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.

The person, who said the contract is subject to a physical, spoke Thursday night to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced.

Cabrera is due $44 million over the final two years of his $152.3 million, eight-year contract that runs through 2015, and the person says the slugger will make $248 million over eight seasons in the new deal.

Depending on whether Cabrera’s deal is structured as one 10-year contract or an eight-year deal starting in 2016, it will either surpass Alex Rodriguez’s $275 million, 10-year agreement with the New York Yankees for the richest contract, or Clayton Kershaw’s record for average annual value of $30,714,286 in the $215 million, seven-year deal he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in January.

76ers tie record for NBA futility

HOUSTON (AP) — The Philadelphia 76ers tied the NBA record for futility with their 26th straight loss, falling 120-98 to a Houston Rockets team led by James Harden’s triple-double.

Philadelphia matched the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers for the NBA’s worst skid and can set the record at home against Detroit on Saturday.

The Sixers haven’t won since Jan. 29 and are two games from going winless in two straight months. There was very little visible emotion as the final seconds ticked away and the players slowly made their way off the court.

Harden had 26 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in three quarters for his second career triple-double as Houston picked up its fifth straight victory.

Manziel’s pro day attracts huge crowd

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Johnny Manziel’s NFL pro day had a former president, lots of swag, a Drake soundtrack and even some football, too.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner threw for 75 officials from 30 teams on the Texas A&M campus.

He also had some special guests, as former President George H.W. Bush and wife Barbara ”“ and her two dogs ”“ rolled into the facility on golf carts about 10 minutes into the workout.

Manziel threw about 65 passes to six receivers, including A&M teammate Mike Evans, who like Manziel is expected to be a first round pick in the May draft. Only two passes weren’t caught and Evans grabbed a third long pass out of bounds.
