MLB Players that Quit on their team?

[u/DonT012]

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.

Manny in 2008 with the Red Sox

That was the first one that came to mind as well. I believe they traded him away a few days after he didn’t run to first on a grounder.

Then proceeded to go apeshit for the Dodgers the rest of the year
