Adrián González, the former No. 1 pick from the 2000 MLB draft who played 15 years in MLB, announced on Instagram Saturday that he is officially retiring from professional baseball.
“I am officially announcing my retirement today,” González wrote on Instagram. “I got to play in MLB for 15 years plus the minor leagues, Mexican summer and winter league. The Caribbean Series, the World Baseball Classic, and the Olympic games. What a blessing.”
He went on to thank his wife, daughters, parents and brothers as well as the six MLB franchises he was a part of—the Marlins, Mets, Dodgers, Red Sox, Padres and Rangers.
