Matt Carpenter, a three-time All-Star who played 14 major league seasons, is retiring from baseball.
He made the announcement Wednesday on Sports Spectrum’s “Get in the Game” podcast hosted by former teammate Scott Linebrink.
Carpenter, an infielder, was selected by the Cardinals in the 13th round of the 2009 MLB draft out of TCU. He spent his first 11 seasons with St. Louis (2011-21), followed by single seasons with the Yankees in 2022 and Padres in 2023.
He made one final stop with the Cardinals, appearing in 59 games in 2024.
