Brantley announced his retirement from professional baseball Friday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Brantley began his major-league career by playing 10 seasons for Cleveland before joining the Astros ahead of the 2019 campaign. The five-time All-Star put together several productive seasons in Houston, slashing .305/.365/.463 with 42 homers, 215 runs, 192 RBI and seven steals over his five-year stint with the Astros. The 36-year-old missed most of the 2023 campaign while recovering from shoulder surgery that he underwent in August 2022, but he was available down the stretch. Brantley was a free agent during this offseason and will elect to hang up his cleats following a 15-year career in the majors.
