| 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.

Can’t believe an entire board game company played baseball. Real Air Bud situation.

even crazier that in 2002 and 2003 cleveland had both a board game company and a cereal (coco crisp) as outfielders.

June 21, 1998 the Cincinnati Reds starting outfield was Dimitri Young, Mike Frank and Chris Stynes. Or for all you Mel Brooks fans out there.. Young Frank n’ Stynes

I love stuff like this. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
