Alex Rodriguez will reportedly retire after the 2017 season.
ESPN’s Andrew Marchand first reported the news on “Baseball Tonight.” Rodriguez’s contract is set to expire after the 2017 season.
Rodriguez will begin his 22nd major-league season next month. He has 687 home runs, ranking fourth all-time behind Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714).
Rodriguez, 41, also reached the 3,000-hit milestone last season, his first after he was suspended for the 2014 season for using performance-enhancing drugs. Rodriguez hit 33 home runs, drove in 86 runs and had a .250/.356/.486 slash line in 151 games in 2015.
