Yesterday after the Dodgers were eliminated from the postseason, Josh Beckett announced that he will retire from the MLB. This announcement comes after he tore his labrum in his left hit that caused him to miss the end of the 2014 season and postseason. This season he went 6-6 with a 2.88 ERA in 20 starts. He also threw a no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies on May 25, 2014. He spent 14 years in the majors. Beckett's retirement announcement is not a surprise to many, he had been hinting it since after his no-hitter. Although it isn't a surprise, it's still sad that he had to retire because of his health. He determined it's not worth all of the work to get himself ready before pitching.
Thank you Josh for your two years of service with the Dodgers and the rest of your career with the MLB. You will be missed within the Dodgers organization and the fans. Good luck on what you choose to do next!
