 San Diego's District Attorney's office entered the complaint,
which states that Cabrera resisted an officer's order by force, on
Thursday morning. Cabrera was arrested on suspicion of driving under
the influence of marijuana.
The maximum penalty for the misdemeanor is one year in jail. In
addition, Cabrera could be fined up to $100 for a vehicle code
infraction for possession of marijuana in a car that was filed by
the District Attorney.
Cabrera's arraignment is scheduled for Dec. 8.
In 90 games in 2014, Cabrera batted .232 with three home runs and 20
RBIs.
---The Miami Marlins are attempting to lock up their top offensive
player, right fielder Giancarlo Stanton, for the long term.
 Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said the team
was in talks with Stanton's agent regarding a multiyear contract.
Stanton,24, is one of three finalists for the National League Most
Valuable Player award. He will be eligible for arbitration this
winter, and his salary will rise sharply from the $5.5 million he
made in 2014. Unless he signs a long-term deal, Stanton would be
eligible for free agency in November 2016.
---The Tampa Bay Rays announced eight early candidates to fill the
