Bonderman considering retirement

[Post Count Padder]

Jeremy Bonderman is seriously considering retiring at age 28 after the season, reports Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press. Bonderman will be a free agent, and he could hang up the spikes if he doesn't get an acceptable offer to return to the Tigers or sign with a team somewhat near his Pasco, Washington home.

 

Bonderman says he's saved a lot of money, so he has the ability to retire. He's earned over $40MM in his career, most of it coming from a four-year deal signed in '06. Bonderman should find interest if he decides to continue pitching. He's shown good health, decent peripherals, and flashes of his former velocity this year.

We should all be so lucky in life as to be able to retire at age 28.

Laying the groundwork for negotiations, probably. Many guys could retire financially. Few actually do when faced with the prospect of a boatload more money from somewhere.

please don't assume that anything he says is based in any well thought-out plan

 

he's easily the dumbest-sounding ballplayer i've ever heard talk, and that's including Vitters
