He’d be better off doing a pistachio commercial.

I aint done playin’!!!!” Ok, maybe he just really loves to play the game but it’s hard not to be cynical in an age where athlete after athlete ends up bankrupt even after earning tens of milions in their career.

He can’t play the field, has a history of steroid issues, is a notorious douchebag that your teammates will hate and he has 1 home run in his last 127 PA’s
Anyone?……….
Anyone?………

If he didn’t want to play this year, fine, but shouldn’t he have retired *after* the 100 games had passed so his options for next year would remain open? Am I missing something here?…

Makes no sense. But makes all the sense in the world.

They’d demand he perform the Seppuku ritual within days, and whomever hired him as well.
