Kyle Seager has never been one for the spotlight.
Time after time, the North Carolina native has bucked convention and chosen to keep things simple. Before getting a chance to test free agency, he re-upped with the Mariners in 2014. To this day, he doesn’t have a Twitter account.
So perhaps we shouldn’t have been surprised when, minutes ago, Kyle Seager — the greatest third baseman in franchise history, and the 183rd player in baseball history to spend the entirety of a 10+ year career with one team — announced his retirement from the game of baseball in the most nondescript way possible.
