Adam Dunn: Announces Retirement
Dunn announced his retirement from baseball following the Athletics' season-ending loss in Tuesday's American League Wild Card game, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn never got in the game Tuesday in his first taste of the postseason in his 14-year career, but the 34-year-old is content to pack it in after a successful run with the Reds, Nationals, Diamondbacks, White Sox and Athletics. Though his time in the majors was often marred by a prodigious strikeout rate, his ability to draw walks (.364 career OBP) and hit for power (462 home runs) made him an asset in the middle of the order. So long, Big Donkey.

Dunn stopped swinging for the fences every time he came to the plate, which helped him put the ball in play in half of his plate appearances (his most since coming to Chicago) and dropped his strikeout rate to 31.1% (his lowest in Chicago). His isolated power also dropped to .223 - the third-lowest rate of his career. That may have been a function of both an altered approach and his advancing age. Still, he remains incredibly durable (he's averaged 148 games over the past five seasons), and he should slot in as the White Sox's everyday DH in 2014, with more starts at first base if Jose Abreu and Paul Konerko struggle. Entering the final season of a four-year deal, Dunn could also serve as a midseason trade chip for general manager Rick Hahn.
