Veteran third baseman Josh Donaldson has decided to retire from professional baseball. The 38-year-old played 13 seasons in the big leagues and enjoyed a wildly successful career. Donaldson was a two-time Silver Slugger winner, appeared in three All-Star games, and took home the 2015 AL MVP Award. He put forth a .261 average with 279 home runs and a .847 OPS across 1,384 games played. Interestingly, his runs and RBI figures were identical at 816 apiece. Most recently, Donaldson appeared in 51 games between the Yankees and Brewers in the 2023 season but limped to a .152 average, although he did slug 13 home runs in just 189 trips to the plate. He spent his 13 years in the majors with the Athletics, Blue Jays, then-Indians, Braves, Twins, Yankees, and Brewers.
