First Tom now Albert.
Who's next? Shaq?

Maybe just to retire him? With the NL DH though I guess a possibility.

 

[Enikk]

With the price of gas and everything else get it while you can. Can't blame anyone

Maybe Albert wasn't careful with his money. But, he is the 2nd highest career earning MLB player.

As I looked up this information, I was surprised Zach Grieke was 4th. I guess Cy-young, 6X all start, 6x gold glove, 2X ERA leader helped push him that high.

It just never struck me that he was a Kershaw, Verlander, Scherzer type.
18 years in MLB also helps.

I was thinking same thing. Under-rated for sure

 

[Shortstop]

Nice, and definitely fitting, that he retires as a Cardinal. I always thought he looked strange in a Dodgers uniform… As a Pirates fan I don’t like that he’s back in the Division…

 

[Enikk]

Can't blame him. All that money, end where you started, and pad your stats because you know the ball will be juiced this year

Wonder what total earnings including endorsements would be?

Agreed. St. Louis fans will be happy to see it
