Francisco Cervelli: Announces retirement

Cervelli announced his retirement Saturday, Daniel Alvarez Montes of El Extrabase reports.

The 34-year-old managed quite a successful 13-year big-league career despite frequent battles with concussions. Cervelli won a World Series as a member of the Yankees back in 2009 and went on to record 605 hits and 41 homers. He'll retire with a .268/.358/.382 career slash line, good for a 105 wRC+, quite a respectable number for a catcher.
