SEATTLE, Wash. – Kyle Seager has announced his retirement after 11 seasons with the Seattle Mariners.
Seager’s wife, Julie, posted a short statement on her social media accounts announcing her husband’s decision.
The 34-year-old became a free agent after the season when Seattle opted not to exercise a club option on his contract.
He chose to call it a career rather than test the open market.
Seager’s retirement is a bit surprising for some, as he’s coming off one of the best seasons of his career.
He hit a career-high 35 home runs and had a career-best 101 RBIs last season.
