the man keeps on giving:
"This guy isn't like Mike Schmidt," Ricciardi said. "He's not going to come out and hit 40 home runs."

The person who voted 30-39 still has a shot, albeit a small one.

Weird, but I don't think he ever officially retired. Baseball Reference has an entry for "last game played," but if you google "Jose Bautista retires," the story stops a year ago with various pieces observing the same thing--that he never officially announced.

wasn't he supposed to be on the mets last year?

I think so...He's definitely done; I'm just intrigued that he never officially announced, like he's holding out a glimmer of hope someone will sign him. The rare super-rich guy I feel a little sorry for in that he never really cashed in like he could have--partly his own fault, but mostly, I think, bad timing beyond his control.

(Maybe he's more at fault than I think: the words "no home-town discount" come to mind.)
