Russell Martin has hung up his cleats after 14 seasons in Major League Baseball. Martin last played in 2019 for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The former catcher announced his retirement on Instagram, which included thanking each of the four separate franchises he played for in Los Angeles, Toronto, Pittsburgh, and New York.
Martin was drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 35th round of the 2000 MLB June Amateur Draft from Polyvalente Edouard Montpetit, which is located in Quebec City. He was later selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 17th round of the 2002 MLB June Amateur Draft from Chipola College.
