Veteran relief pitcher Cody Allen has decided to end his professional baseball career. Allen, who turned 32 in November, has retired after playing eight years in the MLB with the Cleveland Indians and Los Angeles Angels.

The news was reported by several MLB insiders and later confirmed by the Indians on their official social media.

Allen spent the majority of his pro career in Cleveland and currently holds the franchise’s record for most career saves with 149. He also is also the Indians reliever with the most strikeouts (564) and games played (456).

After leaving the Indians following the 2018 MLB season, Cody Allen signed a one-year, $8.5 million deal with the Angels. He only played 25 games with the franchise, however, being designated for assignment and then released midway through the season.

In 2020, Allen was on a minors contract with the Texas Rangers and Chicago Cubs but ended up parting ways with both teams before making a single appearance.

Reportedly, Allen had some interest from MLB teams in 2021 but opted to end his career instead of trying to make a comeback.

Allen retires with a 24–31 career record, 3.14 ERA, 593 strikeouts, and 153 saves.

It looks like the Los Angeles Angels have managed to find their closer for the 2019 season. According to ESPN‘s sources, the Angels have managed to reach a deal with reliever Cody Allen who will ink a one-year deal. The deal is pending a physical.

The 2018 season saw the 30-year-old performing below all expectations, having career worst in ERA (4.70) and save percentage (84.4). Allen was reportedly looking to get a short-term deal this year, in range of $9 million a year, so he could be a free agent next year and get a better deal if he performs on his usual level.

Cody Allen spent his entire MLB career with the Cleveland Indians, being an important part of the team’s bullpen in the previous years. Allen especially came up big for the Indians in 2016 when he had 2.51 ERA and 32 saves in the regular season that saw the team advance to the World Series for the first time since 1997.

He also played a significant part in team’s record-breaking 2017 season, when Cleveland strolled to 22 straight wins at one point and finished the year with 102 regular season wins.
