Free agent Greg Maddux announced his retirement.
The end of an era. Maddux, 42, finishes his career eighth all-time with 355 wins and 10th with 3,371 strikeouts. He won four Cy Youngs, four ERA titles and 18 Gold Gloves (assuming the voters don't simply default to him again there next year). There's probably never going to be a player enshrined in the Hall of Fame unanimously, but Maddux will come as close as anyone ever has. |
