The new year promises to bring great surprises with it for the world of baseball. However, it could also be the year we no longer see top players in action. This is because the employers’ break could have negative effects on free agency and that some players consider retirement and that this is the last time we’ve seen them in action in MLB.
Retirement may be closer than far for some elite players, who may choose not to return to the field for the 2022 MLB season, with 2021 being his last year in service.
Some possible upcoming ex-Major Leaguers are Albert Pujols, Ryan Zimmerman, Nelson Cruz, Zack Greinke, Brett Gardner, Jed Lowrie, JA Happ and Jon Lester; who are currently free agents.
Time passes and the majors’ hiatus does not seem to have an end, which would make these players no longer think about looking for a contract and better to ‘hang up the spikes’ after multiple years of careers.
The organizations that did not carry out prominent signatures before the so-called strike may not look back at the names mentioned and instead have their sights set on elements of lesser ‘travel’.

I joined ‘Al Bat’ in September 2020, starting a new work stage in which I always seek to give my best version, in addition to leaving a significant mark on the passage of women in an industry that is managed mainly by men. Degree in Communication Sciences and Techniques from the Inter-American University for Development (UNID), I am a specialist in sports journalism, writing and editing texts, I have three years of experience covering sports, especially baseball from the Mexican Baseball League (LMB ), Liga Mexicana del Pacífico (LMP) and MLB. I was an intern at the LMB Leones de Yucatán Baseball Club, with whom I attended the 2019 Rey Series. I have done work for social networks such as coverage of the 2019-2020 edition of the LMP Final for ‘Con Las Bases Llenas’. I am constantly updated on social networks, SEO, Google positioning, writing, digital journalism, as well as the place of women in the sports industry. Originally from Mérida, Yucatán, my first approach to baseball was in a game of Lions of Yucatán, in the ‘Kukulcán Álamo’ Park, in 2015; and that changed my life completely. The ‘Melenudos’ are the team of my loves and the greatest passion I have in this sport. Although I dedicate myself to baseball most of the time, my sport, in the beginning, was (and still is) soccer. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich won my heart and fans from minute one and I am fortunate to have already seen them play live. Clearly, I am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and Manuel Neuer.
