Edwin Jackson has announced his retirement from professional baseball.
Jackson, who last appeared in the majors back in 2019 with the Tigers, took to Instagram on Friday evening to make the official announcement. The journeyman right-hander put together a remarkable career, suiting up for 14 different teams over 17 seasons in the majors since 2003. His signature moment came on June 25, 2010 when he fired a staggering 149-pitch no-hitter against the Rays at Tropicana Field. It's been a fun journey, Edwin.
Jon Morosi of MLB.com reports that veteran right-hander Edwin Jackson is open to continue pitching.
Jackson has pitched for an MLB record 14 teams and could be looking to No. 15 to his ledger. The 37-year-old just earned a silver medal pitching for Team USA in the Olympics, though he hasn't been with a major league organization since 2019. He had a 9.58 ERA in 13 starts and five relied appearances between the Tigers and Blue Jays. Perhaps a team will add him as organizational depth without the benefit of any August waiver trades, but it's a tough sell.
Diamondbacks released RHP Edwin Jackson.
Jackson is one of 37 players -- all on minor league contracts -- to be released by the D-backs this week. The veteran right-hander signed a minor league deal with Arizona in early February after posting an ugly 9.58 ERA in 18 major league appearances last season for the Blue Jays and Tigers.
According to Zach Buchanan of The Athletic, the Mets made an offer this winter to Edwin Jackson.
The Mets would have been Jackson's 15th different major league team, but he ultimately decided to reunite with the Diamondbacks on a minor league deal in early February. The veteran right-hander projects to open the delayed 2020 regular season at Triple-A Reno after struggling to a 9.58 ERA over 67 2/3 innings last year.
