Former Padre Cameron Maybin has announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after a long career that spanned across 15 seasons and ten teams. He made a statement via Twitter on Monday:
Maybin is one of the really good guys in baseball, as he has been at the forefront of the Players Alliance, which helps provide equipment and opportunities for young kids to play baseball, among other things.
In terms of his Padres career, it looked like he was going to be the center fielder of the future at one point around 2011.
