What did ex-Detroit Tigers SP Rick Porcello say about retiring?

During a recent appearance on the Bradfo Sho, Porcello, who has not pitched since 2020, confirmed that he has retired from baseball.

“I wanted to be with my family,” said Porcello, who also tells Bradford that he and his brother built a house together in the two years since he’s last taken a big league mound. “I wanted to get back into that type of lifestyle and be around them because every year that you’re gone is another year where your parents are getting older, and your brothers are getting older.”

During his career, Porcello went 150-125 with a 4.40 ERA. His best season came in 2016 when he went 22-4 with a 3.15 ERA with the Red Sox. He won the Cy Young award for his efforts.
