After 17 years Posada can retire comfortably. The salary structure is such that you don’t need that last “hang on” year any more. Babe Ruth with the Boston Braves (although he was hoping for a manager slot), Hank Aaron with the Brewers (saw him live vs. NYY at Shea), Willie Mays and Duke Snider with the Mets, many such examples in decades past.

We lose an aging strong hitter in Posada , the Tigers get young Prince Fielder to go with those arms?  I’m not happy that Prince was “Imported TO Detroit”.
