Veteran RHP Kyle Gibson Announces Retirement After 13 Seasons

BREAKING: Veteran right-handed pitcher Kyle Gibson has officially announced his retirement from Major League Baseball after a commendable 13-year career. The announcement came on June 20, 2024, marking the end of a journey that saw Gibson play for five different teams.

Gibson, 37, concluded his career with a record of 112-111 and an ERA of 4.60 over 334 appearances, including 328 starts. He achieved the milestone of winning 10 or more games in eight different seasons, showcasing his durability and talent on the mound.

The right-hander’s decision to retire follows his recent opt-out from a minor league contract with the Tampa Bay Rays. He explained on his podcast “Serving It Up” that he did not receive a major league opportunity after opting out, stating, “I kind of sat and waited. Didn’t really hear from too many people. I really wanted to have a big league opportunity.”

In a tumultuous season, Gibson pitched for the Baltimore Orioles earlier in 2024, struggling with an 0-3 record and a staggering 16.78 ERA in just four starts, which included allowing 29 hits and seven walks across 12.1 innings. He was released on May 20 after these performances.

Originally drafted by the Minnesota Twins as the 22nd overall pick in 2009, Gibson spent seven seasons with the Twins, posting a record of 67-68. He later played for the Texas Rangers, where he made the American League All-Star team in 2021, before being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. Gibson also enjoyed a successful stint with the St. Louis Cardinals before returning to the Orioles.

His career took a positive turn in 2023 when he won a career-high 15 games for Baltimore, but the subsequent season brought challenges that ultimately led to his decision to retire.

As baseball fans reflect on Gibson’s impactful career, the focus now shifts to the future of other players who may follow in his footsteps, as the league continues to evolve. Stay tuned for updates on player movements and MLB developments.
