A former Dodgers top prospect and long-time pro baseballer and MLB journeyman announced his retirement from the great game on Thursday. Right-handed pitcher Matt Magill took to Twitter to share the news.
After 14 years I have decided to hang up my spikes and step away from being a player. I have decided to retire from the game I love.
The hurler was drafted by LA in the 2008 draft and made his MLB debut with the Dodgers as a 23-year-old in 2013, posting a 6.51 ERA over 6 starts. He was traded to the Cincinnati Reds after the 2014 season but he suffered an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery soon after.
