Former Phillie Jake Arrieta has all but officially announced his retirement from baseball. Arrieta, who pitched three seasons with the Phillies from 2018 to 2020, said he was “done” on the “Pardon My Take”podcast.
“I haven’t signed the papers, but I’m done,” Arrieta said. “It’s time for me to step away from the game. At some point, the uniform goes to somebody else and it’s just my time.”
Arrieta, 36, signed a three-year, $75 million contract with the Phillies prior to the 2018 season.
