Former Athletics All-Star Jed Lowrie announced his retirement from baseball on Thursday after 14 seasons with four different MLB teams.
“No one gets to play forever,” he said in the announcement. “And the time has come for me to close the chapter on my playing career.
“To the fans in Boston, Houston, New York and Oakland, it wasn’t always perfect, but I gave my all and I’m grateful for the opportunities to play for you. Thank you,” he continued. “Love never dies though, so I look forward to new opportunities in the game.”
