Red Sox fans now face another sad bit of news in relation to their players. An 8-year veteran who suited up for the Red Sox last year recently announced his retirement from baseball.

In it, he said “For the last eight years, I’ve been blessed to live out my childhood dreams of playing Major League Baseball. But today, that dream comes to an end! 12 years ago, being a 9th-round pick, I would never have imagined what this game provided me. The memories will last a lifetime. To everyone that made an impact on my career (the list is endlessly long), I will forever be indebted to you! As this chapter closes, the only two words that come to mind is THANK YOU!”
