Former Rockies OF Michael Cuddyer retiring, per report

Former Colorado Rockies and current New York Mets outfielder Michael Cuddyer is hanging 'em up, according to ESPN's Adam Rubin.

Speculation began to swirl on Friday evening when Cuddyer was listed as retired on MLB.com's transactions page. Reporters were initially denied comment from the Mets, who could've put a stop to the speculation at that point but, for now-obvious reasons, did not.

Cuddyer turned down a $14 million qualifying offer from the Rockies at the end of the 2014 season and later signed a two-year, $21 million deal with the Mets.
