Bartolo Colón, now 47, wants to pitch in the majors again: ‘I’ll sign with the first team who wants me’

"I'm not retired. That's not in my mind," Colón told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "I'm still hoping of reaching my goal of pitching 46 innings. I'll sign with the first team who wants me."

That's the number of innings that will propel him to pass Hall of Famer Juan Marichal for the most by a Dominican pitcher.

In his last big league season, with the Texas Rangers in 2018, Colón managed to reach 3,461 2/3 innings. He is 247-188 in 565 games — 552 as a starter since his debut with Cleveland in 1997.
