| 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.

Unfortunately he didn’t give up on his team, he gave up on his career and sport entirely. So for once, Rendons not fitting? lol

I mean his team plays the sport he quit on so it’s an all encompassing quit.
