It feels like yet another stunt.
My first thought: He failed a drug test and this is a way to leave quietly.
I feel like there is absolutely no way that the league would let him go out like that.
The same league that let Palmeiroid keep playing until after his 3000th hit to announce he'd failed a 'roid test months earlier? I think they would. I also think they're glad to have him NOT reach 700 home runs, considering how many will be questioned due to 'roid usage. I think they'd love him to quietly retire, rather than having to bring up the steroid debate again.
In fairness though, he may not be on the juice this year, because he's pretty much sucked all year.
