Detroit Tigers legend Miguel Cabrera sent shockwaves through the baseball community today with a cryptic and emotional post on his personal social media page. The post, which simply read, “My angel, keep trying,” has left fans deeply concerned about the health of Cabrera’s young son, Christopher, who is reportedly battling severe food poisoning.
Sources close to the family revealed that Christopher Cabrera, aged 12, was rushed to a hospital in Miami earlier this week after exhibiting alarming symptoms following a family dinner. According to an insider, the boy began experiencing nausea, vomiting, and severe abdominal pain shortly after consuming a meal at a local restaurant. Medical tests later confirmed that Christopher had contracted a serious case of food poisoning, believed to be caused by contaminated seafood.
“Miguel and his wife, Rosangel, are devastated,” the source shared. “They’ve been by Christopher’s side day and night, praying for his recovery. It’s been a terrifying ordeal for the entire family.” The incident has reportedly taken a significant emotional toll on Cabrera, who has been a pillar of strength for his loved ones during this difficult time.
The news comes amidst a wave of recent food poisoning incidents that have raised public concern. Just last month, several high-profile cases were reported, including an outbreak at a resort in the Dominican Republic that claimed the lives of a mother and her young son. Health experts have since warned of the dangers of improperly handled food, especially in dining establishments, urging the public to remain vigilant.
Fans of the former MLB star have flooded social media with messages of support, using hashtags like #PrayForChristopher and #CabreraStrong to rally around the family. “My heart breaks for Miggy and his son,” one fan wrote. “He’s given so much to the game and his community—now it’s our turn to lift him up.” Another added, “Food poisoning is no joke. I hope Christopher pulls through soon.”
Cabrera, who retired from professional baseball in 2023 after a storied 20-year career, has been spending more time with his family in recent years. Now serving as a special assistant to the Tigers, the 41-year-old has often spoken about the joy his children bring him. Christopher, an aspiring young athlete himself, has been seen accompanying his father to spring training events, further endearing the Cabrera family to fans.
As of this evening, Christopher remains in stable condition, though doctors are closely monitoring him for any complications. The restaurant in question has not yet released a statement, but local health authorities are said to be investigating the incident.
The baseball world continues to hold its breath, hoping for positive news in the days ahead. For now, Miguel Cabrera’s heartfelt plea—“My angel, keep trying”—serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the unbreakable bond between a father and his son.
