Former Phillie Kyle Gibson announces retirement

Former Phillie and member of the 2022 National League championship team, Kyle Gibson, announced his retirement on Thursday on the “Serving It Up” podcast. The veteran right-hander pitched for five clubs during his 13-year major league career, most of which was spent with the Minnesota Twins.

Acquired by the Phillies from the Texas Rangers at the 2021 trade deadline — his lone All-Star campaign — Gibson started 42 games for the Phillies between ’21 and ’22, appearing in 43. He pitched to the tune of a 5.06 ERA across 236 2/3 innings in Philadelphia. Gibson pitched 2 1/3 innings in the 2022 postseason, appearing out of the bullpen in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series and Game 3 of the World Series.
