Rest-of-Season Projections
Announces retirement Friday
Swisher officially announced his retirement via the Players' Tribune on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The 36-year-old Swisher officially called it a career Friday after 11 seasons in the majors. He last played at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the Yankees' organization last season, but ultimately opted out of his deal shortly before the All-Star break. Swisher played with six different major league clubs during his career and made the All-Star team in 2010 as a member of the Yankees when he slashed .288/.359/.511 with 29 home runs and 89 RBI. He ended his retirement statement by saying, in classic Swisher fashion, "This dream is over, y'all. But another one is about to begin. The roller coaster is not stopping, it's just switching tracks."

"Brohio" came to a (merciful) end in early August when the Indians traded Swisher to Atlanta in a post-waiver-deadline deal. Knee issues had plagued Swisher's first half, limiting him to 101 at-bats with the Tribe and inhibiting his performance in a major way. He's still just a few years removed from a 22-homer season, which was his ninth straight 20-plus home run campaign, but Swisher is now 35 and the knees remain a concern. Considering his age and his recent health history, plus given that the rebuilding Braves have Nick Markakis and Hector Olivera in the corners and Freddie Freeman at first base, it seems likely Swisher will fill a sort of complementary, veteran utility-type role to open 2016.
