David Eckstein turned down Mariners in 2011, didn't play anywhere
His entire career, from the very beginning, David Eckstein was made fun of for his size. You couldn't talk about David Eckstein in any context or circumstance without mentioning that he was extraordinarily little. It would appear that, as his final act, David Eckstein exacted his revenge by standing on his tippiest of tippy-toes and slapping a team in the face.

It seems like he's associating having a big heart with turning down the Mariners

That's how I read it too. Very strangely worded tweet. (Boy that sounded weird)
The sentence stating he turned down playing for the Mariners was sandwiched between calling him a terrific guy with a big heart.
Sullivan and Carruth will always have the biggest fish story
Nobody will ever write about a shittier team. Unless you’re at a table with the people that write about the Astros. That team is tuuurrrrrible.

Is it sour grapes to assume he had a decent chance of cratering just like Figgins did?

I think they just wanted him as spare parts for Chone.
Perhaps Figgins was running low on scrappiness and they were hoping to do a transfusion.
I have a grand idea: let's win a game.
He isn't heavy enough to hold something down
They’d need to pile some old schoolbooks or a brick on him too…

Even though he probably wouldn't have been good...
…I’m kinda disappointed. This could have been Eric Byrnes II: The Sequel. Ending with David riding off in a tricycle and joining a local kickball league. Or something.

Considering how last year went, I think he made the right choice.
Left him more time to tend to his hobby of hanging out inside a tree and baking cookies.

I don't usually throw this word around; but in this case, he deserves it

He doesn't appear to be retiring.
