Gross suddenly decides to retire: OF Gabe Gross, who recently agreed to a deal with the Marlins, has instead decided to retire, according to the Enterprise Ledger. "I didn't think it was right for me or my family if I couldn't do it 100 percent, because it takes 100 percent," Gross said. "Sometimes you've just got to move on." (Updated 04/26/2011)
