Veteran MLB pitcher Lance Lynn has announced his retirement. Lynn, 37, made the announcement on his wife's podcast, "Dymin in the Rough," on Tuesday morning.

"Baseball season is upon us -- and I'm right here on the couch," Lynn said. "And that is where I'm going to stay. So there's the update: I'm officially retiring from baseball right here, right now."

Lynn, a 13-year MLB veteran, two-time All-Star and 2011 World Series champion with St. Louis, compiled a career record of 143-99 with a 3.74 ERA during stints with the Cardinals, Twins, Yankees, Rangers, White Sox and Dodgers.

Lynn's final season came in 2024, when he re-joined the Cardinals after seven seasons away. He made 23 starts and went 7-4 with a 3.84 ERA in 117 1/3 innings.

Perhaps the righty's best season came with the Rangers in 2019, when he went 16-11 with a 3.67 ERA and 246 strikeouts in 208 1/3 innings, adding up to 7.7 bWAR and a fifth-place finish in AL Cy Young voting.

In 2021, after a sixth-place Cy Young finish in 2020, Lynn was third in the AL voting after a season in which he went 11-6 with a 2.69 ERA for the White Sox and earned his second All-Star berth.
