Cuddyer retiring

MrMet · Dec 12, 2015

The news broke late last night/early this morning. Supposedly he has a post to the players tribune. Still had one year left on his contract at 12.5 mil, wonder what happens with that? Does he just leave it on the table? Do the Mets give him a buyout? Why did he do it? I know his numbers were slipping, but this seems pretty unprecedented (although there have been a few guys to retire and leave money on the table).
Post up your Cuddy cards, stories, etc.

I think the mets gave him a little ,to push him out the door. So no reason not to resign Cespedes.

He was one of my favorite Twin's when he played here. Seemed like a class act, pretty good player and a sweet looking signature.

The blue turned out much better.

Hopefully the Rockies bring him back as a coach. I doubt they have much clout over the Twins for this.

Yep. As it was the case when Gil Meche retired.

Absolutely sucks

LOVED Cuddy here in MN. Hopefully he comes back to work for the Twins. I'd absolutely be all for that !

Cuddyer is from the same area as me in Virginia. Everyone speaks very highly of him in the area as well as MLB representatives. Sad to see him go, but I guess it was just the right time for him. Hopefully he will stay involved in the sport in some way.

"Why did he do it?"
If you read the story you linked/posted, it is very very clear why he retired. Least selfish person/player in baseball.

Definitely gonna miss him. Hated seeing him leave minnesota and Colorado both as I'm a twins fan first, but live closer to denver. He was definitely a great person and a good player that I feel was somewhat underrated at times. It sucks seeing some of your childhood favorites retiring.

Sounds like he was a class act who knew "when it was time" unlike countless others who would have struggled through another year or 3 before it dawned on them that it was past "their" time to call it quits. Kudos to him for knowing when to walk off into the sunset.

Sad to see him retire. Lucky enough to see him play once in Minny in a 12 inning loss to the Yanks in 08. Made a nice play in RF. Will always cherish his friendship with Jim Thome when they played togther with the Twins. Good luck Micheal in retirement.
