Alex Rodriguez. The guy has had one hell of a career. A career that is tainted by steroid use, yet people still love the guy. Well, AROID has decided that it’s time to hang up his cleats today.
Talking to ESPN, A-Rod will be hanging up his cleats following the 2017 season.
“I won’t play after next year,” Rodriguez told ESPN on Wednesday. “I’ve really enjoyed my time. For me, it is time for me to go home and be dad.”
The 40-year-old designated hitter is under contract through 2017, and would retire once his massive 10-year, $275 million deal with New York expires.
Rodriguez could change his mind before then, but once Rodriguez retires, he’ll leave behind one of the most complicated legacies in recent memory.
