Trevor May annouced his retirement from baseball Monday afternoon on Twitch.
This is a bummer, but the 34-year-old May has long made it clear that he has interests outside of the game. A closer for the first time in his career, May racked up 21 saves for the A’s this year, having amassed a 1.99 ERA over 41 appearances after returning from the IL in May. He went unscored upon in his final 15 appearances as a major leaguer, and one imagines he would have done at least as well or a little better as a free agent than he did in landing a $7 million deal last winter. He finishes his career 36-28 with a 4.24 ERA in 26 starts and 332 relief appearances over nine seasons.
