The all-time great player of the Seattle Mariners officially announced his retirement due to his wife.
This is Kyle Seager’s final game in the major leagues. This week, Seager declared his official retirement from baseball via his wife’s Twitter account. The left-handed hitter played for the Mariners for eleven years.
Seager has made the decision that it is time to concentrate on the next phase of his life, while some people were waiting to see if he would wind up with a new team.
Seattle After playing in the major leagues for 11 seasons, all with the Seattle Mariners, Kyle Seager announced his retirement on Wednesday.
Consistently avoiding social media, Seager announced his decision with a brief message on his wife Julie’s Twitter account.
“I am grateful to my family, friends, and supporters for being there for me throughout my professional life. The statement reads, “I am incredibly excited for the next chapter of my life, but it’s been a wonderful ride.
When Seattle decided not to exercise the club option on Seager’s contract, the 34-year-old became a free agent at the end of the season. With the uncertainty of an ongoing lockout, Seager decided to end his career rather than test the open market.
A message from Seager was that he was coming off one of his best seasons, so his retirement is a little surprising. Last season, he had a career-best 101 RBIs and hit 35 home runs as Seattle made a late push to make the playoffs, only to lose in the closing days.
It held a special place in my heart. Following the season finale, Seager remarked, “That was a real moment.” You are aware that this moment will undoubtedly occur. Though you can’t prepare for it, you consider it and consider how you’ll feel. That was truly unique.
After 11 seasons in the major leagues, third baseman Kyle Seager of the Seattle Mariners has announced his retirement from baseball.
On December 29, Julie, the 34-year-old’s wife, shared a note from Seager officially announcing his decision to retire on Twitter.
Given his youth, Seager’s retirement is somewhat surprising given that he had a career year in 2021, setting career highs with 35 home runs and 101 RBI.
The Mariners selected the elder Seager brother in the third round of the 2009 MLB Draft, and he played for them for his entire career. He joined the team in 2011 and has since won a Gold Glove Award and been named an All-Star.
