08:31 AM ET 01.07 | It appears unlikely that Gary Sheffield will return to baseball. Sheffield told ESPN 1040 in Tampa [Thursday] afternoon that he's "99.9-percent" sure he's going to retire. Sheffield, who last played in 2009 with the Mets, wanted to play with his hometown Rays, and had dinner with manager Joe Maddon last month. Maddon had said the meeting was just to get to know him, and there was no expression of interest, but Sheffield said on ESPN 1040 that he felt a "little disrespected" he didn't get a call back.

Poor Shef...
Milwakee disrespected him so bad he had to be traded....
San Diego disrespected him by not paying him enough...
Florida disrespected him by not paying him enough..(again)....
LA disrespected him by not kissing his **** enough....
The Braves disrespected him cause he wasn't "the" star....
Yanks? Well Torre's just a racist....
Tigers disrespected him by not extending his deal...
The Mets disrespected him by releasing him....
Now he has to bash teams he hasn't even played for. Gary just **** and stay at home. It wasn't funny when you were good. Not funny now....

There's a reason this guy couldn't stay with any team very long.

I think they didn't call him back because he's black.

I'm surprised Sheff didn't claim Maddon being racist towards him...that's usually Sheff's response when a white guy doesn't give him what he wants!!! Good riddance to bad rubbish. You are NOT as good as YOU think you are, Sheff. Stay retired and ****!!!
