In a move that was made with little to no fanfare and one that was probably missed by most fans, Baltimore Orioles RHP prospect James Teague has opted to retire from professional baseball. The move was made official on Monday, January 28th and is reflected on his MiLB page.
The retirement was confirmed to me by Teague’s father, prominent Arkansas attorney, Robert Teague. This marks the second retirement in the Orioles’ organization this month; I shared the news of Drew Dosch‘s earlier retirement here.
Teague was drafted by the Orioles in the 37th round of the 2016 MLB Draft out of the University of Arkansas.
