Pitcher Andrew Heaney has announced his retirement after 12 seasons in the major leagues.
“I am ready to devote all my attention and energy to my role as a husband, father, family man and active member of my community,” he wrote on social media on Sunday. I am retiring from baseball, but I hope I can give back more than I received. »
The 34-year-old left-hander had a cumulative record of 56-72 with a 4.57 ERA in 208 starts and 22 relief appearances for the Miami Marlins (2014), Los Angeles Angels (2015-21), New York Yankees (2021), Los Angeles Dodgers (2022, 2025), Texas Rangers (2023-24) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (2025), who signed him to a one-year, US$5.25 million contract last February.
Heaney finished the season with a 5-10 record and a 5.52 ERA in 23 starts and four relief appearances. He was released by the Pirates on August 29, signed with the Dodgers three days later and took the mound with them in relief, allowing three runs in two innings against the Mariners in Seattle on September 27. He didn’t pitch in the postseason.
Heaney started and won Game 4 of the 2023 World Series for the Rangers, after allowing one run in five innings of work.
