Adam Duvall will opt to retire if his MLB free agency price isn’t met

SURPRISE, Az.

Adam Duvall, an 11-year major league outfielder, was offered a $1 million contract by the Royals with a chance to make another $1 million in performance bonuses.

But he turned it down and has informed teams that if he is not guaranteed at least $3 million, he is going to retire, two sources told The Post.

The $3 million would represent what Duvall, 36, made last season with the Braves.

The righty-hitters stance has overtones to what Anthony Rizzo recently told The Athletic that it would be bad for future player pay if he undersold what he thought he was worth.

Duvall did not have a good overall season with the Braves hitting .182 with a .569 OPS.

But he continued his career-long strength in hitting lefties with a slash line of .252/.342/.514.

The Royals were hoping to add Duvall to hit in the middle of their order against lefty starters.

Duvall, a key member of the Braves 2021 championship club, has hit 195 career homers, including 11 last season..
