PSA Comments of the Day 12/13/15: About Retirement

Michael Cuddyer recently announced his retirement. It came as somewhat of a shock to the baseball world, considering he was not that old for a baseball player and that he still had a year and some money left on his contract with the Mets. Yesterday, he made a post on The Player's Tribune describing what lead him to his decision. Cuddyer's retirement reminded me a bit about when Mattingly retired back in the 90's. When injuries take our favorite players from us before our time, it can be a sad thing. Whether he was a Yankee or not, Cuddyer's retirement is a reminder about how taxing injuries and recovering from said injuries can truly be.
