After spending over a decade in the MLB, All-Star third baseman Todd Frazier has decided to hang up his cleats.
Frazier officially announced his retirement from the game of baseball on Tuesday. He’s ready to spend more time with his family.
“It’s been my love my whole life,” Frazier said, via the New York Post. “It’s very hard to let go. Don’t get me wrong, it’s one of the toughest decisions I’ve ever made in my life. But where I’m at in my career and where I’m at in my life, I think it was the right decision. I think it’s time to be that family figure that I’ve always wanted to be.”
Though he played for several teams during his MLB career, Frazier created strong bonds with the fan bases in Cincinnati and New York.
Frazier spent five years with the Reds before being traded to the White Sox. In 2017, he was traded to the Yankees. Once his stint with the Yankees came to an end, he signed a two-year deal with the Mets.
Since Frazier was such a consistent presence on the field and in the locker room, several fan bases congratulated him on a great career.
