There was a news article a few weeks before the season ended saying my catcher was not quite himself lately and when asked about it said he didn't want to talk about it. I thought maybe he didn't enjoy sharing time at his catcher position, so I went in made him an everyday starter, no more being subbed out every 5 days. My season just ended, and my team went 100-62 and made the Playoffs, and I received an email saying that player retired to pursue other interests, getting involved in his church, etc.
Has anyone ever seen a player retire right before the Playoffs started? I am disappointed my starting catcher can't wait, at most, another month to pursue his other interests!
