What ever happened to Ray Black?

[Jopal78]

Does anyone know whatever happened to Ray Black? He appears on the Nashville Sounds website but it indicates he’s on the restricted list.
 

I don’t recall him having pitched in any capacity for the Brewers organization in the last 3-4years. I don’t recall him being suspended? Did he refuse to report, get in personal trouble, etc.? Weird they haven’t just released him.

He is retired, no idea why the Brewers would still roster him. If you want to pay a $1 to read the article from the Scranton Times Tribune you can read this:

This thread got me wondering if Pomeranz will ever be able to make it back for the Padres.  If not, they'll end up having paid him $34 mil to pitch 44.1 innings.

This means that Black did not file proper paperwork to indicate he was retired. The Brewers still maintain control over him should he ever hope to come back. This has happened in the past with other minor league players, eventually they drop off the restricted list.

Got my game worn Ray Black jersey autographed by him at the last fan fest the Brewers did, so got that going for me.
