From the bullpen to the ocean

 John Jaso let go of Major League Baseball calls to answer the sea. Did he leave behind millions of dollars for the ocean?

 

The New York Times states that John Jaso knew he would retire after his 2017 season. Throughout the entirety of his last season, he spent all of his free time sailboat shopping. In addition, Times says that He would always wander around on marinas and imagine himself on the open water.

 

After becoming a free agent at the end of his 2017 season, Jaso told press “I have a sailboat, so I just want to sail away. Next stop Caribbean.” When he was asked about his thoughts once spring training of 2018 began, He said “Sometimes I’ll just be out on the boat bobbing in the water, not sailing or even fishing. “There’s nowhere else on the planet I’d rather be than right here. “It’s been the perfect fit for who I am.”

 

John Jaso seems to have no regrets going for behind home plate straight to the middle of the ocean. This may inspire fresh MLB retirees to join him on his new quest.
