Free agent pitcher Paul Byrd says he doesn't want to sign a contract with any team now and go to spring training, citing a desire to spend more time with his family.
Byrd continued by saying that he has no desire to announce his retirement and would like the opportunity to join a contender midseason. Byrd has never been to a World Series and believes that he will be able to come back this summer to help a team toward a postseason run.
I'm not sure that teams will be banging down the door to sign up Byrd. However, good teams (like the Yankees and Mets) want to sign Freddy Garcia, so what do I know?
