ANALYSIS
This isn't an April Fool joke. Hudson has battled with shoulder problems since 2007, and decided the pain was too much. "It just feels like a sharp knife in there, and twisting when I throw," he said. "It's just physically impossible."

Hudson played just five professional games in 2007 because of shoulder problems. He underwent shoulder surgery in June and should be ready for spring training. There are concerns about how effective he'll be - particularly his 96 mph fastball - upon his return. If/when he returns, he should pitch out of a swing role, and will probably be susceptible to injury.
