Long-time St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Lance Lynn announced Tuesday that he has retired from Major League Baseball after 13 seasons.
'Baseball season is upon us and I'm right here on the couch and that is where I'm gonna stay,' Lynn said on his wife's podcast, 'Dymin in the Rough.'
'I am officially retiring from baseball right here, right now.'
Lynn, 37, spent much of his career with the Cardinals (2011-17, 2024) but also has pitched for the Minnesota Twins (2018), New York Yankees (2018), Texas Rangers (2019-20), Chicago White Sox (2021-23) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2023).
Last season with the Cardinals, he started 23 games and had a 7-4 record with a 3.84 ERA, throwing 117 1/3 innings and striking out 109.
The two-time All-Star has a career record of 143-99 with a 3.74 ERA in 364 games (340 starts), tossing 2,006 1/3 innings. He ranks sixth in that category, as well as in wins, among active pitchers. Ahead of him in each category are three sure Hall of Famers -- Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw.
Lynn, on Tuesday, made it clear that he may be spotted on the baseball field ... just not in a major-league game.
'There might be something a little fun around the corner upcoming weekend, so stayed tuned,' Lynn said. 'But from Major League Baseball, I am done pitching.'
