Gio Gonzalez Retires
4 years agoLeft-handed starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez has announced his retirement from baseball at the age of 35. Gonzalez was with the Miami Marlins on a minor league contract, but he has decided to call it quits after 13 big league seasons and 131 career wins. He made only one official appearance with the Marlins this spring, allowing seven runs while getting just one out. The lefty hangs up his cleats with a 3.70 career ERA in 13 seasons with the A's, Nationals, Brewers and White Sox. He had hoped to catch on with his hometown Marlins this season, but he made the decision to sail off into the sunset instead. He could surface as a pitching coach somewhere soon.
