I can think of at least 5 reasons.
1. He's old
2. He's suddenly not that good at baseball
3. There is zero chance he is with the team next year, so what's the point?
4. He probably wants nothing do with a bad rebuilding club and I imagine his presence in the clubhouse hurting the ball club
5. He's gonna expect to play every day so there goes any increase in Nieto's playing time
Flowers basically went 0 for Mid May-Current date and they didnt increase Nietos time. I really dont think they plan on rushing him this season to full time, as much as we want him to be
