4-Time All-Star Ian Kinsler Retires, Will Join Padres' Front Office

San Diego Padres second baseman Ian Kinsler announced Friday he's decided to retire from MLB and will accept a position in the club's front office.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported the news and noted Kinsler is going to reach a "financial settlement" with the Padres to settle the $4.25 million remaining on his two-year, $8 million contract.

"It just felt like this is the end, time to move on," Kinsler said. "I gave it everything I had. It's time to do something else."
