The Natural Approach (Spoiler Alert: It Doesn't Exist)
Let's be honest, there's no official "retirement" button in MLB The Show 22. Unlike your character's hairline, the developers haven't implemented a way to just say "deuces" and walk off into the sunset. But fear not, there are a couple of ways to achieve that sweet, sweet retirement feeling.
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
The "Father Time Says No" Method
This one's pretty straightforward. Father Time, the undefeated champion of all things biological, eventually catches up to everyone. Just keep playing seasons. Eventually, at the ripe old age of 40 (give or take a season), your agent will sadly inform you that no team wants to take a chance on a geriatric outfielder with a questionable swing. This, my friend, is your forced retirement. On the bright side, you might just get inducted into the Hall of Fame!
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.

Pro Tip: If you're impatient (like, really impatient), you can crank up the sim difficulty to blow through seasons faster. Just remember, speed isn't everything, especially when your reflexes are about as fast as molasses in December.
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
The "I'm Out, Peace!" Method
This method is a little more...active. Basically, you gotta play hardball (pun intended) with the contract negotiations. When your agent throws some contract offers your way, simply reject them all. This might mean sitting out a few seasons (because, hey, gotta stick to your guns!), but eventually, teams will get the hint and stop offering you contracts. Consider it a forced retirement with a side of rebellion!
Warning: This method might involve a lot of staring at the ceiling and questioning your life choices.
