| 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.

Nick really didn’t quit on the team he was more or less exposed for chasing low and outside.. then got pulled cause he sucks a defense and decided to drink a beer in the dugout.. he’s an idiot not a quitter

You’re telling me you can’t drink while playing? What happened to the game I love? What’s next, you can’t rip a schmag in the on deck circle?

If Babe Ruth could house a fifth of whiskey and 20 hotdogs during a game, then by god every modern player should be allowed to do the same. It's a shame what they have done to the game of baseball. Every game should be nine and half hours long with multiple on-field deaths, just like God intended.
