Ty Buttrey announced he intends to return to MLB

[Hubs]

Source is him. Live announcement on Twitter Spaces.

[Bronson]

Lol.

[Jason]

Hopefully he figured out what he needed in his life. Best of luck to him

"I just want to be regular Ty"

He learned quickly that being regular Ty doesn't pay very well.

To be fair, that is why all of us here go to our jobs. Should be enough reason to play pro ball as well

That is $15 dollar an hour open market value considering he never went to college.

He quit because he was playing for the wrong reasons.

He should have sent Strad his application.

[Blarg]

I don't think he qualifies. He has to show he is there for the right reasons.

[Lou]

He probably likes their fries.

Do the Angels still own his rights or is he a free agent?

[Hubs]

He said a bunch of stuff and said that he wants to come back because he has an incredible opportunity to help people. Saw kids in Carribbean that had nothing but baseball and he gave it up to focus on other things (like NFT and Crypto). He misses fans and misses teammates and misses competing. Sounds like he grew up a bit.

The Angels own his rights for I think Four more seasons. 21 doesn’t count. He’s on the restricted list.

I’d assume so. 

[rafibomb]

Would love to see him try again with the Angels. If he can get back to game shape he can be a solid bullpen piece.

[Blarg]

He wasn't when he quit.

Like i said, he missed the money.

He was burnt out… we all get that. He was focusing on social media company, his non profit, and nfts and crypto. 
 

His non profit works with kids or something and he started to re-examine his love for the game and why he left. I get it.

[Hubs]

From a baseball standpoint this is a great addition to the pen. He struggled in 2020 but that season was weird. His 2019 was super solid. If he can return to form he’ll easily make the pen mix.

A discount on an In N Out burger seems like a good reason

Ok now I feel bad.
