Four NL teams. Is he requesting the AL teams let him hit while he's pitching? They can't insert a DH after declining it to start a game, right?

Nope if you use a pitcher at dh you have to use pitchers at dh the rest of the game.

He's taking "pennies" anywhere he goes. Can't make more than $250,000 as an international signee

Nah the Yankees had 3.5 million in international signing money to give him the cubs can only give him a max of 300k because we spent a lot last year on international players

Rafael Palmeiro, 53, says 'no doubt' he can make it back to MLB

Rafael Palmeiro, who is 53 and last played in 2005, said he is thinking about trying to make a comeback.

Palmeiro told The Athletic, "there's no doubt in my mind I can do it."

A four-time All-Star first baseman, Palmeiro played for the Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangersand Baltimore Orioles over a 20-year career, racking up more than 500 home runs and 3,000 hits. He is one of only five major leaguers to achieve that feat.

Palmeiro, who retired quietly in September 2005 after the 10-game suspension, has always maintained that he never used steroids.

"Maybe 12 years later, if I can come back and prove I don't need anything as an older player with an older body, then people might think, OK, maybe he didn't do anything intentionally," Palmeiro said.

The oldest regularly playing position player in Major League Baseball history was Julio Franco, who was 49 when he retired in 2007.

"I want to prove to myself I can do it on a high level," Palmeiro said, "then walk away feeling good about the whole body of work."

Baltimore general manager Dan Duquette did not entirely dismiss the notion of giving Palmeiro a shot.

"It would be an interesting story," Duquette said. "It's like tying your shoes ... If you can hit, then you can hit."

Raffy must have traded in his “B12” needle for the pipe
