DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) -- Relief pitcher Rafael Soriano has announced his retirement from baseball after 14 seasons in the major leagues.
The 36-year-old Soriano signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays last month. He never reported to spring training because of visa issues in his native Dominican Republic.
The Blue Jays posted a note from Soriano on Sunday saying he was done.
Soriano pitched six games for the Chicago Cubs last July after signing as a free agent, going 2-0 with a 6.35 ERA. His last full season came in 2014 with the Washington Nationals.
