2015 Playoffs 4 (LCS 1) Complete - Next SIM Sun 03/13 at the latest

A lot can go on in the off-season. There is usually two phases of retirement. There are the players who know right now, they are done. Those are guys that file for retirement right when the season ends. However, there are numerous other players who wait until January 1st to make a decision.

Often players go through a development stage from October to January 1st. Older players get worse, younger players get better, etc. Diaz is potentially one of those guys that right now, is still good enough to play...however, after sitting on the couch eating ice cream trying to recover from the Sharks playoff loss for the next few months, might lead him to retire.

You'd be surprised of the OF talent you can find late in Free-Agency, especially a #4/platoon type like Diaz. A lot of solid contributors will lower their demands when the market dries up and you can get a good player for less than $2M in say February/March.

That's interesting, didn't know that fact. I was told, his salary will come out of the books, if he decides to hang up?
