Batting woes aside, Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera got whacked with two stinging curve balls this year: his wife filed for divorce five months before his mistress sued him for child support.

But his wife has since changed her mind about splitting up, the Free Press has learned.

"It's been dismissed. There is no divorce proceeding between the Cabreras," Miami attorney Jason Marks said Friday.

Marks, who is listed in court documents as the attorney for Cabrera's wife, Rosangel, declined further comment..

According to court records in Miami-Dade County Civil, Family and Probate Court, Rosangel Fatima Cabrera filed for divorce on March 20. A hearing was scheduled to take place on Monday in the case, but it's no longer pending.

During the time Rosangel Cabrera filed for divorce, court records show that Cabrera's ex-mistress in Orlando, Fla., began pressing him for more child support money. The talks went nowhere, the woman claims, so she had no option but to sue him.

On Aug. 7, in Orlando's Orange County Circuit Court, Cabrera's ex-mistress of five years, Belkis Mariela Rodriguez, hit him with a paternity suit, claiming he isn't paying enough child support for the two children he fathered with her; a son and a daughter.

Cabrera linked to $3.2M Grosse Pointe Farms mansion

According to court records, Cabrera pays at least $12,000 a month to Rodriguez and helped her buy a nearly $1 million mansion in a gated community in Orlando. Rodriguez claims Cabrera has cut back on child support and left her "high and dry," struggling to raise two children on her own in the lifestyle that they have become accustomed to.

According to friends of Rodriguez, the children traveled with their mother to visit Cabrera over the years, and Rodriguez and Cabrera dated for five years.

It is not known if Cabrera's wife knew about the affair. Details of the divorce filing are not known, other than Rosangel Cabrera had claimed a breakdown in the marriage.

The Cabreras live in a $3.2 million mansion in Grosse Pointe Farms with six bedrooms and a swimming pool.

Rodriguez, who turned 35 on Friday, lives in a five-bedroom home with six bathrooms and drives a Range Rover. She also has a swimming pool. But her house is a lot smaller: 3,700-square feet, compared to the Cabrera's lakefront home of 11,275-square feet.

Cabrera's attorney in the divorce filing, Jerome Ventura, was not available for comment. His lawyer in the paternity suit, Benjamin Hodas, declined comment.

Cabrera's legal woes come after a career-worst season in which he hit .249 with 16 home runs and 60 RBIs.

Tigers general manager Al Avila was asked Friday whether he thought Cabrera's personal issues, including the potential divorce and paternity suit, added to his struggles at the plate.

“I’m not going to address any of his personal issues because those are all personal," Avila said, shortly after introducing Ron Gardenhire as the Tigers' new manager. "But for me, I do believe that the main reason that Miguel Cabrera did not perform as well as we’re accustomed to seeing is because of his injuries ... He’s got a great tolerance for pain. But at the end of the day, I think that’s what affected him most.

"I fully expect a fully healthy Miguel Cabrera to come back and getting back to producing.”

In court documents in the paternity suit, Cabrera — through his lawyer — has accused Rodriguez of extortion, claiming he has paid sufficient child support to her and helped her buy a home, and of acting like a divorcee seeking alimony.

Rodriguez denies the extortion allegation and says she is only seeking money that her children are entitled to under Florida law: potentially $100,000 a month, given Cabrera's $30-million annual salary in 2017.

Cabrera was acquired by the Tigers in a seven-player trade with the Marlins in December 2007. By 2014, he secured a $248 million contract extension with the Tigers, the largest extension in baseball history. According to Baseball-Reference, he has earned $216 million in his career and has $184 million in future salaries.
