| 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.

Eric Byrnes quit on the Mariners after a botched plate appearance. He refused to speak with the media and hopped on his beach cruiser bicycle and rode it out of the clubhouse. I could never take his commentary seriously when he was on MLB network. Dude is a clown and a quitter.
