Alsonso signed a 7 year contract after his 2023 season. He then signed 6 consecutive 1 year minor league contracts with Toledo. 300 MLB HRs,225 or so in Minors. Guess he loved the game and Toledo.
Retired after 2037.

wow. that's interesting. pretty solid production for someone to not get a single crack at the majors in those 6 years. Toledo's parent club must have had a solid roster.

On a related note, there was an edition of Football Manager quite a few years ago that supposedly had a bug that prevented the Welsh striker Mark Hughes from retiring. He got older and got worse, at least to a point, and the game treated that appropriately, but he'd just keep slogging away in the semi-pro divisions. One user reported a save game in which a 70something Hughes suffered a fractured skull and was out for the season, but came back the next season.
