Question
where are the mlb ex-players?i will like to know how the are doing after retirement?if they open up business?or are they broke?

Answer
Steve,

They all have different situations - just like people in real life.  Many of them never played long enough to make any money and they go on to regular life.  The ultra wealthy don't have to work, but that is a very small percentage.

This doesn't really answer the question of what they are doing, but Jack Smalling sells a book with the addresses of current and former major leaguers.  Here's a link to the site:

Hope this helps!
