Former Chicago White Sox designated hitter Adam LaRoche, who decided to retire after the team told him to limit the amount of time his 14-year-old son spent in the clubhouse this spring, has opened up about his reasons to walk away from the game.
In a lengthy interview with ESPN the Magazine, LaRoche revealed he didn't retire just because of the dispute during spring training about his son Drake being in the clubhouse.
The 36-year-old LaRoche, who earned roughly $70 million in his career, stood to make $13 million more this season.
LaRoche's final decision came on March 15 around 9:30 a.
