Career ends for A’s pitcher Dick Allen in spring release
Dick Allen, 36, openly lamented his long major league career as Oakland waived him for unconditional release after a spring without an at bat. A nine season arc with five clubs, his 351 home runs rank third among active players. Allen won MVP with the White Sox in 1972 and suggested he may still be able to play if another team believes in past performance.
