Ryan Braun Still Heavily Leaning Towards Retirement
4 years agoMilwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun visited Brewers camp Monday but is still "strongly leaning" toward retiring, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Braun's visibility at the camp may have led some to believe he is considering playing at some point this year, and he did not close the door on that happening, saying, "Until I get to a point where I've completely made my mind up, I just don't see any sense in making (retirement) official." However, he did ultimately reaffirm his comments from February, when he said he isn't "currently interested in playing" baseball in 2021, and added that his "top priority is parenting." Braun has a Milwaukee franchise-record 352 regular-season home runs in his first 13 big league seasons. Braun hit just .233/.281/.488 with eight home runs, 26 RBI, and 14 runs scored in 139 plate appearances in 2020. As of now, fantasy managers can ignore him.
