Playing Fact or Fiction with All of MLB's Hottest Week 19 Buzz, Rumors

It's been a busy week in baseball—and most of the action has come away from the field.

New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira announced that 2016 will be the last year of his professional career. Shortly thereafter, his teammate Alex Rodriguez let the world know he will be released by the club following Friday's game against Tampa Bay.

Finally, Texas slugger Prince Fielder revealed that, due to neck injuries, doctors won't clear him to play baseball again, forcing his career to be cut short at the age of 32. 

There's plenty to digest in those three events, but of course, that's not all the news and chatter that made its way across the rumor mill in Week 19.

Was there a noticeable absence (no, not Derek Jeter) from A-Rod's press conference? Should a player always go back home when given the chance? Is a contender's injured star going to take the field again in 2016?

We'll hit on all that and more in this week's edition of Fact or Fiction.
