“I’ve lost the love and passion to play the game,” said Soriano in a radio interview Tuesday in his native Dominican Republic. “Right now, my family is the most important thing.”
Soriano, 38, completed in 2014 the final year of his $136 million, eight-year contract he signed with the Cubs before the 2007 season.
He ends his career 50th in baseball history with 412 home runs.
“Although I consider myself in great shape, my mind is not focused on baseball,” said Soriano.
