Up until the conclusion of last season, Andre Ethier resided as the longest-tenured player in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. But that ended when he reached free agency this past offseason and was not re-signed by the club.
In fact, Ethier did not sign with any team as he is among the veterans like Matt Holiday and Jose Bautista who are still available on the free-agent market. There was a report during the winter that Ethier planned on retiring but he refuted that and was said to still be seeking an opportunity to continue playing.
But now that the offseason has come and gone, Ethier admitted to leaning toward retiring in an interview with David Vassegh of Dodger Talk on AM 570 L.
