Free-agent first baseman Daniel Murphy is retiring from MLB after 12 seasons.
"This is a beautiful game, and I really just feel humbled and blessed that it let me jump on the ride for a little bit," Murphy told SNY. "It's beautiful. It can teach you about so many things. And all I can say is, thank you."
Murphy, 35, finished his career as a .296 hitter with 138 home runs and 735 RBI while playing for the Mets (2008-2015), Nationals (2016-18), Cubs (2018) and Rockies (2019-2020). He delivered for the Mets in the 2015 postseason by homering in six consecutive postseason games during the National League Division Series against the Dodgers and Championship Series against the Cubs.
