Chase Utley, The Man, the deker of throws, the dropper of F-bombs, the guy who could have been named the MVP of the 2009 World Series despite being on the losing team, has announced that he will retire from baseball at the end of the 2018 season. And he did it in the most Chase Utley way possible.
Chase Utley announces that he has signed a five year extension. When laughter subsided he announces he will retire at end of season. #Dodgers

Utley, who has a section of a rival team’s stadium named after him because of how often he owns them, spent 16 seasons in the major leagues.
