Josh Donaldson, who won the American League MVP during a 13-year career, announced his retirement Monday.
Donaldson, 38, made the announcement on the podcast of former player Sean Casey.
Donaldson finishes his career with 279 home runs, 1,310 hits and a long-earned reputation as a someone who competed with an edge, unafraid of offending opponents. He had his best season in 2015 with Toronto, when he hit 41 homers and drove in a league-high 123 runs, while scoring an MLB-high 122 runs. Donaldson received 23 of 30 first-place votes for the MVP, finishing ahead of Mike Trout for the award.
