Despite the MLB season still not being over yet, Alex Rodriguez being four homers away from 700 and him having one year remaining on his contract, the New York Yankees veteran shocked the sports world on Sunday by announcing his retirement.
A-Rod’s final game will be on Friday, August 12th. With that, much of the baseball world had something to say about it.
Here’s how they reacted on Twitter:
Hey here's a hot take: A-Rod is a complicated and sometimes self-destructive dude who was also one of the best baseball players ever.
