Veteran pitcher Dan Straily has officially announced his retirement from professional baseball at age 36, as shared by Codify Baseball. Over an eight-year MLB career, Straily suited up for several teams including the A’s, Cubs, Astros, Reds, Marlins, and Orioles. Originally drafted in the 24th round by Oakland in 2009, he debuted in 2012 and had a standout rookie campaign in 2013, earning a fourth-place finish in AL Rookie of the Year voting.
After bouncing between teams via trades—including a notable deal that brought Addison Russell to the Cubs and another that cost the Marlins top prospect Luis Castillo—Straily found success as a durable starter, especially during his time with the Reds. Though his MLB journey ended in 2019, he extended his career overseas with a strong stint in the KBO, posting a 3.29 ERA in nearly 500 innings for the Lotte Giants. He later had brief stops in the Mexican League and minor leagues before hanging up his cleats with a career total of over 2,300 innings across all levels. MLB Trade Rumors congratulates Straily on a solid and resilient career.
