According to the Los Angeles Times, Carl is expected to be released from the Dodgers.
The Los Angeles Times writes:
That was one expensive Sunday brunch for the Dodgers, who made the difficult but necessary decision to cut ties with Carl Crawford and eat the remaining $34.6 million left on the underachieving and oft-injured outfielder’s contract.
Crawford, 34, was designated for assignment to make room for versatile catcher/infielder Austin Barnes, who was recalled from triple-A Oklahoma City.
The Dodgers have 10 days to trade, waive or release Crawford. Given the 14-year veteran’s declining skills and the chunk left on a seven-year, $142-million contract that runs through 2017, that period is expected to end with Crawford’s release.
“Carl’s entire career, he’s worked really hard and played really hard, and ultimately that takes a toll on your body,” said Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers’ president of baseball operations. “We just felt we had gotten to a point where this made the most sense for all parties involved.”
Crawford, acquired from Boston in the nine-player trade that netted first baseman Adrian Gonzalez in August 2012, played in only 30 games this season, batting .185 with a .230 on-base percentage, .235 slugging percentage, no home runs and six runs batted in.
Yeah, Carl is tired. I can see retirement soon. He made out GREAT, so no worries.
Doesn’t he have other kids? He better get it together before he ends up broke because of child support. These athletes act like their money can’t run out so they stop giving a damn about their careers.
Sh-t I hope he did like Marshawn Lynch and was smart with his money.
Marshawn won.
He’s probably over it. I’ve watched some of Ev’s show and I can tell his family life seems to be his main focus right now. Plus they are supposed to be getting married this year. We all reach a point where we just get tired of working. Even rich people.
she will stay cause the money wont run out. but make no mistake- this is karma- karma for him for leaving his long time girlfriend while she was pregnant- and karma for her due to her horrible behavior #myopinion
lmao damn son
Yikes.
Ooops! Well Jennifer is back on BBWLA so this might be Evelyn’s cue to go make some coinz.
I would imagine he saved up some coins and he can retire without going broke. Baseball players make the most money. It’s rare any of them die broke. Just saying.
