Brewers announced the retirement of RHP Salomon Torres.
Torres said he was retiring three weeks ago, but he didn't officially file the papers until last night. The 36-year-old Torres finishes his career with a 44-58 record, 57 saves and a 4.31 ERA in 64 starts and 433 relief appearances. All of his saves came the last three years, but his best seasons came with the Pirates in 2004 and 2005. He was one of the NL's most valuable relievers while posting a 2.70 ERA in 186 2/3 innings over the two years. |
