Rest-of-Season Projections
Brings end to career
Ramos (shoulder) announced Wednesday via his personal Twitter account that he has elected to retire from professional baseball.
ANALYSIS
Ramos' decision to step away from baseball comes one day after the Angels released him from his minor-league deal with the club. A 2016 All-Star selection for the Marlins, Ramos has been limited to seven appearances at the big-league level across the past three seasons while he's struggled to return to form following June 2018 surgery to repair a torn labrum. He was set to miss the entire 2022 season after suffering a torn capsule in his right shoulder during a March 27 Cactus League appearance, and the 35-year-old wasn't eager to embark on another arduous rehab. He'll retire with a lifetime 3.04 ERA and 99 saves across stops with the Marlins, Mets, Rockies and Angels.

Ramos is a free agent, but even if he gets signed, he is unlikely to contribute much at all in 2019 after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder June 24. Ramos' skills have been a mess the past two years with plenty of strikeouts, but way too many walks and problems with home runs. If Ramos signs a deal, look for him to sign a two-year, team-friendly contract that will allow him to rehab on the big club's dime while allowing the club to see what is left in his shoulder during the process. Torn labrums are very tough to recover from for pitchers, so there is no guarantee Ramos throws another major-league pitch.
