Two-time MLB All-Star Gio Gonzalez has officially announced his retirement from Major League Baseball. Gonzalez had been with the Miami Marlins as a non-roster invitee in spring training this year. The veteran pitcher was hoping to secure a spot on the team's Opening Day roster as a fifth starter, but 23-year-old lefty Trevor Rogers emerged as the frontrunner for the Marlins No. 5 starter spot.

The 35-year-old Gonzalez made the announcement on his Instagram Thursday with a personal message and thanks to each organization he's played for:

Gonzalez spent parts of 13 MLB seasons in the majors with the Athletics, Nationals, Brewers and White Sox. Overall, he has a 131-101 career record with a 3.70 ERA (111 ERA+). During his first season with the Nationals, in 2012, Gonzalez finished third in the NL Cy Young voting after he led the league in wins (21), FIP (2.82), and strikeouts per nine innings pitched (9.3). He was traded to the Brewers at the 2018 trade deadline and he posted solid numbers during his two seasons in Milwaukee, but experienced some regression with the White Sox last season ultimately leading to his demotion to the bullpen.
