Reports came out today on mlbtraderumors.com that former White Sox slugger Jermaine Dye is "shocked" that no one has called to obtain his (ancient) services, thus forcing him into contemplating retirement.
This should come as no shocker considering that he did not play one game last season. He diligently waited by the phone (no agent, represented himself) for a call from a team that needed him. Zip, zero.
"I will continue to stay in shape and hopefully someone will call. If nothing gets done by the end of the spring, I may call it a career."
Seriously, dude, get over yourself. You are looking for a guaranteed major league contract and you are like 45 and can no longer play the outfield. Taking an entire season off looks terrible- take a look at Sheffield. You should have swallowed your pride like Troy Glaus did, made your way through the minors (Again) and started fresh. All I hope is that the Yankees do not have you on their radar!
