DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Brad Penny is retiring after 14 seasons in the majors.
Penny reportedly isn't the only pitcher at Blue Jays camp that decided to retire on Friday. According to multiple reports, veteran reliever Rafael Soriano also is walking away from baseball.
Manager John Gibbons said Penny, a 37-year-old right-hander, informed him on Friday.
A two-time All-Star, Penny was in Toronto's spring training camp after signing a minor league contract in December. He had a 10.29 ERA in four exhibition appearances, giving up five runs in two innings during his lone start against a Houston Astros' split-squad on Thursday.
