Kyle Crockett. What a bummer. Cleveland drafted him in 2013, in the 4th round out of the University of Virginia. He was rated the 113th-best prospect in the draft and immediately became one of the organization’s top relief prospects.
Nelson Cruz is hitting .283/.399/.681 this season, with 5 HR. He has 6 walks to 46 K’s. After 19 seasons in the big leagues, it looks like the 42-year-old’s career might finally be coming to an end. But it was a very fine career.
Bartolo Colon will be officially retiring from baseball on 17 September 2023. He will retire as a New York Met, who he pitched for from 2014-16. He is 50 years old. I had no idea he hadn’t retired yet.
