Garrett Richards clears final hurdle, avoids T.J. surgery.

Believe it or not, most professional ball players don't play to be rich. Some are heavily motivated by money, but most got into this career field because they love to play.

I can tell you right now, the money isn't the reason Garrett got the injection. He got it because he wants to play baseball sooner rather than later.

Cynics make the worst fans.

Agree.

I have no doubt that Richards underwent this treatment so that he could return sooner. Whether it was a wise decision or not remains to be seen.

Richards decision was two-fold. There was the possibility he would of been non tendered if he choose TJ. 

Money is always part of the equation ... don't be fooled.
