Lorenzo Cain Will Officially Retire, MLB Spring Training Schedule

“I left it in the hands of my boys,” Cain, father to three boys ages 5 to 8, said to the media. “I said, ‘Hey, do you guys want Daddy to continue to play ball? Or are you ready for Daddy to be done and go home?’ And they said, ‘Dad, we want you to go home.’ And I said, ‘OK, then.’ So I've been done. I just haven't announced it, I guess.”
