Shawn Green announces his retirement

Shawn Green, who played for the Mets during the past two season, announced his retirement from baseball on Wednesday.

Green was partially open to a deal for a West coast team, but nothing popped up and he decided it was the right time.

From the Post:
Green, who is building his dream house in Irvine with his family (wife Lindsay and daughters Presley and Chandler), added, "I wanted to stay here with my family. Not travel around the country anymore. I enjoyed playing a lot. I enjoyed New York. But for me, it was time to be home."
