While the baseball world - particularly Texas Rangers fans - await Adrian Beltre's decision to either return or retire, another familiar face within the confines of Globe Life Park appears to be moving on.

Starting pitcher Martin Perez posted a goodbye message to Rangers fans Thursday evening on Instagram:
