Welp that decides it.  :hysterical:
His shoulder isnt what has been hurt the last 3 years. its been lower body things so you have no idea about his shoulder being done.

Dude.  It's not like these are freak injuries: he repeatedly hurts himself doing basic baseball activities.  Some guys just break down.  He's one of them.  FFS, he had a bruised ankle...and ended up needing surgery.  You say "it's been lower body things" like that's a good thing.  It's not.   He's like Nick Johnson or AJ Pollock except that those dudes actually produce when they play.  The only time Bird has managed to play more than 50 games in the majors (ever!), he hit .199 with no power and lost his job in the middle of the season.   His career OPS outside Yankee Stadium is .662 (Wilmer Difo's career OPS is .663). 

Other than a 40-game stretch coming up on 5 years ago, there is no indication at all that Greg Bird is a major league baseball player.  If that 40-game stretch had happened with the Royals or Reds, he'd be playing for the Long Island Ducks next year if he was lucky.
