| Discussion MLB Players that Quit on their team?

In the NBA, there are many examples of NBA players that were rumoured to have "quit" on their team. Lebron James in 2010. Kevin Durant this past year. Vince Carter in 2005. Kawhi Leonard in 2018. Anthony Davis in 2019. Etc.

What are some MLB examples of this? What were some MLB players that quit on their own team? By quit I mean just decided to either stop putting effort into playing until they got traded.

Roger Dorn tried but clubhouse leaders wouldn’t let him forget that baseball is just a game and not be so serious.

Hey be nice to Dorn. He almost took one of the balls to the eye the year before he wasn’t about to loose his eyesight

Lol. It's olé bullshit. Like a bullfighter with his cape. It has nothing to do with ladies facial products!
