Bartolo Colón Eyes MLB Comeback At Age 47

Bartolo Colón wants to pitch a 22nd MLB season at 47 years old, he told ESPN's Marly Rivera.

Colón, who will turn 47 on May 24, last pitched in the majors in 2018 as a member of the Rangers. At 45 years old, he went 7–12 in 24 starts.

"I thought that last year maybe I would have the opportunity," Colón said. "I know that if it didn't happen last year, this year would be less likely. I'm getting older and the game is all about the young pitchers coming up. When you get older, teams no longer need your services.
