World Series MVP Let Go

The Giants bought out Edgar Renteria’s contract instead of exercising their option on him:

It’s no surprise because the 34-year-old Renteria is considering retirement after an injury-plagued season. Still, the Giants had to make the decision only three days after Renteria’s tiebreaking three-run homer off Cliff Lee in the seventh inning Monday night helped San Francisco win the franchise’s first title since moving West in 1958.

It was the rational thing to do, even if Renteria wasn’t talking retirement.

    Well the Yankees traded their 1996 WS MVP, John Wetteland. His replacement seems to have worked out. So I guess winning the WS MVP doesn’t carry that much weight.
