kid pitched lights out after the all-star game last year, posting something like a 1.5 ERA. He got a lot of heat for signing a new contract for $22m over four years (players association for one).
Turns out, he has heart problems. Had minor surgery on Oct. 8th. Since it wasn't sports related, it was never announced until the announcers said it during the game. He pitched 6.2 and had ten strike outs. The team won 2-0. He also has four kids so he took the money, the peace of mind, and is hopeful his heart problems are under control.
Just goes to show that the fans only see the tip of the iceberg sometimes.
