Indians pitcher Bruce Chen announced via Twitter Monday night that he was retiring from baseball.
Chen, 37, was trying to revive his career but had two unsuccessful starts for the Indians. He was designated for assignment last week. Instead of going back to Triple-A, he decided it was time to call it quits.
Today, I would like to announce my retirement. For the last 22yrs I have been doing what I love for a living. I feel blessed and fortunate

Chen played for 11 teams across 17 seasons in the major leagues.
