According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive and Andersen Pickard of MLB Daily Dish, Blue Jays minor-leaguer Max Pentecost has retired from baseball.
Earlier in the spring, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reported that Pentecost had left the team’s major-league camp to “consider his future”.
Pentecost, 26, was drafted by the Blue Jays in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft, two picks ahead of Washington’s Trea Turner and one pick behind Michael Conforto of the New York Mets.
