Yermin Mercedes, The American League Rookie of the April in April, which was sent to Triple-A Charlotte after the May and June falls, announced on Wednesday on his Instagram account that he was retiring from baseball.

First, I want to thank God for giving me life for the fans, that without them I was nothing, Mercedes wrote on his Instagram account. My family is understanding and always supportive … I walk away from baseball for a while. God bless you. It is over.

The White Sox said it was aware of the post but had not received any official notice from Yermin of his future plans.

In a way, you realize you’re in Triple-A, you taste the big leagues, and you can be emotional, a leader Tony La Russa said after the Sox’s 7-2 loss to the Twins. I seek him.

It can only be a little frustration. I explain to him that he has a big league future.

The 28-year-old Mercedes, elected to Charlotte on July 2, started the Knights on Wednesday and was removed from the jump after two attacks. In 14 matches, he hits .309 / .377 / .655 in four home rounds.

The kidnapper used to be named as a batsman, Mercedes hit .221 in May with two home visits and .159 in June for the Sox.

A fan favorite and MLB-Sensation in April, which was eight of its first eight bats, Mercedes left the mark and returned to the field 3-0 in May. La Russa called him for missing a sign and breaking one of the unwritten rules of baseball.

Several times he has said how close we were, La Russa said. He feels that I am his supporter. I seek him.

La Russa said he has many cases where underage players get frustrated.

It’s an adjustment, and you have to figure out a way to fix it, he said. Everyone is an individual situation. He earned a place on the list, and as often happens to beginners, you have to learn to adapt back. I know he can make these changes and hit the big leagues.
