Pitcher Freddy Garcia will retire from baseball after pitching for his native Venezuela in the Caribbean Series championship game on Sunday.
Garcia, 39, threw 7 1/3 innings in Triple-A for the Dodgers last season but spent most of the last two years in Taiwan, Venezuela and Mexico. He made two All-Star teams and finished runner-up in the 1999 American League Rookie of the Year voting.
He's had a fine career. Garcia held a 4.15 ERA across 2,264 innings over parts of 15 major league seasons. He retires with a 16.9 percent strikeout rate and 7.4 walk rate.
