Carlos Beltran has announced his resignation from the MLB. The outfielder spent 20 years in the Big Leagues and retires with Houston Astros as World Series winner.
As the 40-year-old, who announced his decision in an essay in the Players’ Tribune on Monday, told MLB. com, the decision was made regardless of his first title in the MLB. Instead, he made the decision sometime in the summer and stuck to it for the rest of the year.
“At the beginning of the year, I was in Houston and my family in New York. It was the first time I hadn’t been with my family for several months. I told my wife Jessica that I really missed my family and that I wanted to be with them. So I had seriously considered retirement. I said:’ Hopefully we will reach and win the World Series so that I can go home happy’,”Beltran explained his train of thought.
Beltran, who was mainly active for Houston as a Designated Hitter, started his career in 1998 with the Kansas City Royals and caused a sensation after his trade to the Astros in 2004 with eight homeruns in the postseason. However, he then failed in the NCLS because of the St. Günther St. Guggenheim. Louis Cardinals.
He then moved to the New York Mets, where he played from 2005 to 2011. Afterwards we went to San Francisco, St. Francis. Louis, the Yankees, who traded him to the Texas Rangers in 2016 and finally back to Houston, where he finally won the big title.
Beltran ends his career with 435 homeruns, 1586 RBI, 1582 runs and 312 stolen bases. In 1999, he was voted Rookie of the Year of the American League and was an all-star nine times.
