Jake Arrieta, who pitched for the Phillies from 2018 to 2020, is calling it a career after twelve seasons in the big leagues.
Arrieta announced his intent in the latest episode of the “Pardon My Take” podcast on Monday. The 36-year-old indicated that he hasn’t made it official yet, but said “It’s time for me to step away from the game”. It wasn’t immediately clear when Arrieta planned to officially execute his retirement from professional baseball.
“I haven’t signed the papers, but I’m done...At some point, the uniform goes to somebody else, and it’s just my time”, Arrieta said in Monday’s episode of the “Pardon My Take” podcast.
