Sports Stars That Need to Get the Hell out of Dodge - Bleacher Report

We might think that being a professional athlete is great, but that's not always the case—especially when there's a bit of dysfunction going on with the team a guy is playing for. While fans might gripe when players complain about their team's direction—even when a player gets paid millions of dollars—no one enjoys when he or she feels either unwanted or heads into a season with little chance of winning. Never one to have consistent power, Minnesota Twins designated hitter/first baseman Joe Mauer reached a new low in 2014 with just four homers and 55 runs batted in, having a batting average that was. 042 off of his career average of. 319. And while Mauer might have a bounce-back season in 2015, his salary of $23 million this year makes him almost unmovable for a Minnesota team that doesn't appear to be too competitive. Playing for his hometown squad, Mauer would almost never demand a trade. Over the past two seasons, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have compiled an overall record of 6-26, with their 2014 campaign of 2-14 leading them to the first overall pick in this year's NFL draft. Seeing as how the team hasn't shown much over the past couple of years, it's incredible that wide receiver Vincent Jackson hasn't yet run out of patience, as he has posted three straight 1,000-plus-yard seasons with a variety of mediocre passers.
