...opting out of his minor league contract with the Yanx and claims he's "stepping away from the game to be with his family". ...sure Nick.

...gee Nick, it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you can't even hit minor league pitching anymore either ?

Not to mention he had been passed over on call ups. Can't feel sorry for a man who's collecting 13 mil this season.

...^^^not sure how much the Cleveland/Atlanta split on paying his salary is...but I'd have to guess that the Indians are paying most of it.

Whatever the reason.........have a good life. God knows you have prospered well. And I'm sure
you will with your 13 mil.......now, let us common folk get on with our lives. I wonder how
different he will celebrate our country's birthday from any of us?

With his ego, he's not going anywhere.
