Wednesday afternoon, DeJesus, formerly with the KC Royals, posted on Twitter that he was making it official and retiring from playing baseball.
DeJesus, who became a fan favorite in his short time in Chicago, will now be a studio analyst for the Cubs.
DeJesus played his first professional game for Kansas City in 2003. Playing just 12 games that season, he later became a staple in the Royals outfield. He finished sixth in American League Rookie of the Year voting in 2014.
I am officially retiring from playing baseball. Im so excited for this next chapter with @CSNChicago covering the Cubs with @thekapman.
