Sean Burnett: Hangs it up
Burnett announced his retirement from baseball Tuesday, Ken Davidoff of the New York Post reports.
Burnett first emerged in the big leagues during the 2008 season with Pittsburgh, posting a 4.76 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with a 43:34 K:BB over 56.2 frames. After 19 seasons in professional baseball, he's decided to call it quits, ending his career with a 3.52 ERA and 278 punchouts across 378.1 innings.

Mets' Sean Burnett: Latches on with Mets
Burnett signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Wednesday, Ken Davidoff of the New York Post reports.
The deal doesn't include an invitation to spring training, so Burnett will open the year in the minors. The veteran left-hander spent most of the 2018 season with the Marlins, compiling a 5.49 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB across 19.2 innings of relief with Triple-A New Orleans. Burnett hasn't pitched in the majors since 2016, and injuries have kept him off the mound for a good chunk of the past six seasons, so don't look for him to play a big role for the Mets in 2019.

Sean Burnett: Let go by Miami
The Marlins released Burnett on Monday, Triple-A New Orleans radio broadcaster Tim Grubbs reports.
The end of the road could be near for the 35-year-old Burnett, who has made 380 career appearances (13 starts) in the majors but none since 2016. He was let go by Miami after posting a 5.49 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 19.2 innings at Triple-A, though a 23:5 K:BB and .452 BABIP suggest the latter two ratios probably should have been better. Burnett could land a minor-league deal elsewhere if he intends to continue his career, but he'll face an uphill battle to resurface in the majors with multiple injuries having kept him off the mound for much of the past six years.

Marlins' Sean Burnett: Minors deal with Marlins
Burnett signed a minor-league deal with the Marlins on Saturday that includes an invite to spring training, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
He is already in camp and has time to win a spot in the big-league bullpen. Look for him to serve as organizational depth, operating in low-leverage situations. The 35-year-old southpaw last pitched in the big leagues in 2016, logging 5.2 innings in 10 appearances with the Nationals.
