Randy Johnson has officially announced his retirement, according to Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse.
The 46-year-old southpaw announced his decision during a Tuesday conference call. Johnson's 22nd season was cut short due to injury, posting a 4.88 ERA in 96 innings, but he did reach the 300-win plateau against the Nationals in June. The Big Unit finishes his illustrious career at 303-166 with a 3.29 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, including five Cy Young Awards. His 4,875 career strikeouts are second only to Nolan Ryan. He'll surely be a member of the Hall of Fame class in 2015.

 Randy Johnson-R - Giants Jan. 5 - 4:56 pm et

Randy Johnson will announce his retirement on Tuesday evening, according to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.
Johnson's camp moved up the announcement by a day to avoid conflict with Tuesday's Hall of Fame announcements, a ceremony he should enjoy in five years. The 46-year suffered a torn rotator cuff in early July, making a return to the diamond for a 23rd year unlikely. The Big Unit ends a stellar career 303-166 with a 3.29 ERA and 4,875 career strikeouts.

Randy Johnson will make an announcement on his future on Tuesday, with several writers, including USA Today's Bob Nightengale, speculating that he will announce his retirement.
The Big Unit suffered a torn rotator cuff in early July, making this decision easier. The 46-year old was 8-6 this past season with a 4.81 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 22 appearances. If this is it, Johnson was 303-166 in 22 major league seasons, compiling a 3.29 ERA and 4,875 career strikeouts. Cooperstown will be his next stop.

Randy Johnson is still weighing whether to return for the 2010 season.
It would be Johnson's 23rd professional season. He was 8-6 this season with a 4.81 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 22 appearances before suffering a torn rotator cuff in early July. "It depends whether he still has the fire and whether he wants to compete and how he feels," said his agent, Alan Nero. "He's enjoying his family... and I can't speak for him."

 Bengie Molina-C - Giants Dec. 1 - 11:59 pm et  

The Giants did not offer arbitration to any of their free agents.
San Francisco didn't want to risk paying Bengie Molina close to $8 million next season, which is the sum he probably would have received through the salary arbitration process. The decision will make him more attractive to outside clubs because signing him no longer requires draft pick compensation. He was a Type A free agent and would have gained the Giants a first round pick. Type B guys Randy Winn, Randy Johnson and Bob Howry were also declined arbitration.

 Randy Johnson-R - Giants Oct. 1 - 5:07 pm et

Randy Johnson is unsure whether he will return for a 23rd season in the bigs.
Johnson said "there's no real sense of urgency" to the decision, adding that his health and ability to start will factor in any decision. The Big Unit suffered a torn rotator cuff in early July, only just returning to pitch out of the bullpen after avoiding surgery. It's hard to see the 46-year old returning for another go-round.
