Why not, his contract is up and his skills have diminished to the point that who is going to sign him. He is smart enough to realize this and walk away.

dont forget 6 mil for hitting 714 homers (18 more) doubt he makes 755

he should ask for a refund

Nate Schierholtz has been suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for Ibutamoren.

Schierholtz is currently a free agent after being released by the Tigers back in May following a .246/.280/.356 line at Triple-A Toledo. The suspension will kick in if he makes it back to the majors with another team.

Since hitting 3 homers in a game on July 25 of last season, A-Rod has hit 17 HR in roughly 450 PA (99 in August, 114 in Sept, plus however many more in July, not looking at individual boxes). I don't know if anyone will give him another 450 chances to get to 714. He's basically going through the same thing that happened before his last suspension. His body is shot.

Shut up

The Royals retired all-time great Frank White's number... enough said.

I thought Teixeira retired 3 yrs ago. He will be missed by exactly no one nor should he. It's been difficult to watch a guy who was once a really good hitter who hit it to all fields with power turn himself into this. He came to NY thinking he had to hit 80 hr's / yr and ruined himself. This is one Yankee fan who's happy to see him go.

In honor of his playing career, he will suffer a serious injury every year in about June.

I'm sure his dollar bills will be soaked in tears after reading this post.

he has a shitload of them I'm sure. Still, he is not going to be remembered as anyone who made a difference in NY

Felix vs. Lincecum tonight. This would have been epic in 2010/11.

6-3 Mariners in the 1st inning.
