1. Wil

2. I’m very happy for him >!now please DFA him!<

3. What time today? Reds are the type of team that would dfa him just before

4. I like Wil

5. Wil Myers

6. I guess the holy grail isn’t a championship?

7. Tenure?! Rickey got twenty year!

8. Last I heard pension was like 170k a year.. I know a guy who hit ten years and retired that day

9. 10 years?! Now I feel old, I remember his call up

10. I guess I am wondering what the big deal about a pension is when you have earned $91 million in your big-league career

11. He ranks 52nd in number of games played among active players with 1,100 games. Players with less years but more games include Lindor, Odor, Mookie, Cesar Hernandez, Eugenio Suarez, and Jose Abreau (who has 1327 games).

    I’ve never heard of César Hernández I must admit.

12. Don’t you also get a ‘golden ticket’ that gets you tickets to any regular season game when you reach 10 years?

13. I always used his batting stance in mlb the show. Nothing too flashy, but gets the job done. <3

14. Couldn’t happen to a better guy.

15. Wow, I need to start playing baseball. Retirement goals!

16. Doesn’t he now have 10 and 5 rights since he has 10 years of mlb experience and 5 were for the same team so he basically has a no trade clause now

17. !wilmyersfact

18. Can we have him back?❤️

19. It feels just like yesterday the “Padres won the Wil Myers trade.”

20. I’ll always think fondly of Wil, trading him directly led to our two AL titles and WS.

21. do they still give out the golden ticket

22. I get taking everything they can from owners. But, wouldn’t it be cool if the players redistributed that pension $$ (on grounds that they’ve already made $10s or $100s of millions) to minor leaguers, guys that never hit free agency, etc?

23. Wil will be eligible for the Hall of Fame!
