Hamels (shoulder) announced Friday that he has retired from professional baseball.
ANALYSIS
The 39-year-old lefty spent parts of 15 seasons in the majors from 2006 through 2020 and signed a minor-league deal with the Padres in February with the hope of making a comeback from shoulder surgery, which he underwent in November 2021. Unfortunately for Hamels, he never demonstrated enough progress in his recovery to make any rehab appearances in the minors and will now call it a career. The 2008 World Series MVP and four-time All-Star will finish his career with a 163-122 record to go with a 3.43 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 2,698 innings.
