Announces retirement
Harvey announced Friday via his personal Instagram account that he has retired from professional baseball.
ANALYSIS
Harvey last pitched in the majors in 2021, though he spent the 2022 campaign in affiliated ball as a member of the Orioles' minor-league system. The 34-year-old right-hander reached the majors in 2012 with the Mets and immediately looked like one of baseball's top aces, but his career was ultimately sidetracked by injuries and poor performance. Harvey finishes his MLB career with a 50-66 record and 4.42 ERA over parts of nine seasons. He made one All-Star team (in 2013) and was the 2015 National League Comeback Player of the Year.

Harvey's days as a worthwhile lottery ticket may be over. After yet another disappointing campaign, it's now been five years since he was an effective pitcher, with his four straight bad seasons now outnumbering the three strong years that opened his career. His 2019 campaign was his worst yet, leaving little reason to have any faith in a bounceback this season. After winning a spot in the Angels' rotation, he struggled to a 7.50 ERA in 10 starts before suffering a back injury in late May. Once healthy, he made just two more starts before the Angels decided they'd seen enough and released him. He eventually signed a minor-league deal with Oakland but was never promoted to the big-league roster. There's little reason to believe a pitcher with a 5.65 ERA over the last four years will get many opportunities this year in his age-31 season, even if that pitcher is Matt Harvey.
