The 37-year-old second baseman, a free agent after the 2020 season with the Nationals, announced his retirement in a post on Instagram in which he paid tribute to the Nationals and all of his former clubs.
Kendrick began his career with the Los Angeles Angels before stints with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies before landing at the Nationals in 2017. I ve decided to retire from the game of baseball, Kendrick wrote. I will be forever grateful for the many life lessons baseball has taught me on this 32-yr journey.
Kendrick announced Monday on Instagram that he was retiring from the league after 15 seasons. He spent three and a half of those seasons with the Nationals, toward the tail-end of a career that included stints with the Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies.
“A dream that started as a 5 yr old boy in the town of Callahan, Florida,” Kendrick wrote on Instagram. “I will be forever grateful for the many life lessons baseball has taught me on this 32 yr journey.
“I want to give praise and thanks first to God and secondly my grandmother, Ruth Woods, who laid the groundwork and introduced me to the game of baseball. To my Wife, Jody, my sons Owen and Tyson, I love you more than anything in this world. Thank you for sticking it out on this ride I called a dream.”
