Former Cleveland closer Cody Allen is retiring

According to Jon Heyman, former Cleveland reliever and all-time saves leader Cody Allen is calling it a career.

Cody Allen, 32, drew some interest but has decided to retire. Nice career. 153 saves, all but four of them with the Indians. Was the closer of their 2016 World Series team, pitching in 4 WS games, and allowing no runs while striking out 12 in 6 innings, and saving Game 3, 1-0.
