Former Cardinals, Yankees star Matt Carpenter retires after 14 MLB seasons
NY Post
Matt Carpenter is calling it a career after 14 seasons in the big leagues.
Carpenter, a three-time All-Star who spent 12 seasons with the Cardinals, announced his retirement on Sports Spectrum’s “Get in the Game” podcast with former teammate Scott Linebrink.
The infielder went unsigned this offseason.
“I was very fortunate to play for some great organizations and had quite a thrill being able to don the St. Louis Cardinals logo for many years,” Carpenter said. “A brief stint with the New York Yankees and also the San Diego Padres. I could thank a lot of people and I will, but I think I’ve got to start with my family.
“My wife, Mackenzie. Anyone who’s played professional baseball knows it takes a really strong woman at home to get through what that life looks like and she was the rock in our household that was able for me to go out and play the game I love for so long. … And then, obviously, my parents.”
Carpenter finishes a two-time Silver Slugger who led the National League in hits in 2013 while hitting .318 and scoring 126 runs.
