Chen warmly welcomed in Tribe's front office
5/18/15: The Indians' broadcast discusses the retirement of Bruce Chen, announced earlier in the day by Chen on TwitterGOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Bruce Chen stood outside the doors to the Indians' clubhouse on Tuesday morning, and he could not escape. As players exited, they would stop, smile and throw their arms around the former pitcher for a hug.
Following his retirement last season, which put the final touches on a 17-year Major League career, Chen accepted a job with Cleveland as a Minor League cultural development coordinator. The Indians were the last of 11 teams that Chen suited up for in the big leagues, but the club has now given him his first shot at a front-office career.
