While LaRoche said he has “zero regrets” about walking away from his hefty salary of $13 million if he played just one more season, he understands he is walking away from “an absurd amount of money”. I don’t hate anybody over there.
When asked about the enormity of giving up $13 million, LaRoche said ” I learned a long time ago, no matter how much we have, it’s never enough. “In his next conversation with Williams, LaRoche said the team’s vice president told him, “‘Enough’s enough'”. LaRoche and his son talked about the decision in an exclusive interview with ABC. “It’s absolutely reasonable. That’s why I say I really can’t, you know, looking back now, I can’t blame him”, he said. “I don’t want to see your son around here anymore, ‘” LaRoche said.
Williams has denied ordering LaRoche to never bring his son to the locker room, saying only that he asked the player to “dial it back”. And you know, we got a small window here, a very small window here, to turn them into the men that they’re going to be. LaRoche spent most of the last month on a road trip in his R.V. with his family, so he said he was unaware of some of the firestorm.
Adam LaRoche went away, but his retirement story doesn’t.
He then said that baseball suddenly was not as important after that trip.
