Prince Fielder retiring

[57stratdawg]

Kind of young.

 

[PBRME]

Especially for a baseball player.

He's made well over 100 million. I don't blame him for kicking back and enjoying it

Not really retiring. Doctors won't clear him to play anymore, so it's more like a forced medical thing.

I was a fan, he could smash a baseball.

 

[RingN2012]

2 neck surgeries in the last 2 years and it's not healing properly.
Rangers better resign Mitch after his deal is up this year

The crazy part is if he never hits another homer, then both he and his father will both retire with 319 career homers.

He's not officially retiring (medically disabled) so he can still get his money and it prevents the teams from having to paying all the money. Since he's medically disabled, an insurance policy will kick in to lessen the financial blow to the team. If he straight up retired, he wouldn't get any of his remaining contract.
