A 10th-round pick for Cleveland in the 2006 draft, Espino finally made it to the Show in March 2017 when he was 30 years and pitching with the Brewers. He tossed 24 total innings that season between the Brewers and Rangers and then didn't resurface in the majors again until 2020 when he was a member of the Nationals.

Two-time All-Star reliever Ryan Pressly has retired after a 13-year career in which he collected 117 saves and helped the Houston Astros win the 2022 World Series. "It's bittersweet, but what a ride it's been," Pressly said in a statement announcing his retirement. Pressly, 37, recorded six saves and allowed only one unearned run over 11 innings during Houston's 2022 postseason run. He compiled two saves and gave up just that one unearned run over 5 2/3 innings in the Astros' 4-2 World Series victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

I guess I can officially say I'm done playing. I wanted to be 100% sure. Because of things I went through last year, I kinda said it was gonna be my last year.

Thank you to the Pirates, Tigers, Nationals, Athletics, White Sox and the Phillies for all letting me represent your cities. I wore each and every one of those jerseys with pride.

After 13 seasons and full of tremendous pride and gratitude, it's time to hang up the cleats. I never could have imagined the experiences and memories I'd be a part of.
