Kevin Pillar, an outfielder who spent the majority of his 13-year major league career with the Toronto Blue Jays, announced his retirement on Wednesday.
Pillar confirmed his decision during an appearance on the Foul Territory podcast, about a month after he was released by the Texas Rangers. After rehabilitating from offseason thumb surgery, Pillar played in 20 games for the Rangers - his 10th major league team - with nine hits in 43 at-bats.
Pillar, 36, was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 32nd round in 2011 and made his debut in 2013.
