Daniel Bard Has Retired
Veteran pitcher Daniel Bard has decided to retire after debuting back in 2009. The 40-year-old had recently signed on with the Mariners, but was placed on the 7-day injured list on July 8, according to the MiLB.com transactions page, retiring a little over a week later. After dealing with "the yips" for years and other ailments, Bard had not been in the major leagues from 2014 through 2019, but when he made a return in 2020, the former first-round draft pick won NL Comeback Player of the Year. The 6-foot-4 right-hander also saved 54 games for the Rockies between 2021 and 2022. He'll finish with a career 3.74 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 475 strikeouts in 457 1/3 innings pitched.
