Rest-of-Season Projections
Officially retiring at age 50
The Mets will hold an official retirement ceremony for Colon on Aug. 26 at Citi Field, Hector Gomez of Z101Digital.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Colon last threw a pitch in the majors in 2018 at the age of 45 and last appeared in organized ball in Mexico in 2021, but he's only now officially hanging up his cleats. The 50-year-old spent parts of 21 seasons in the majors and played for 11 teams, winning 247 games and posting a 4.12 ERA. He was a four-time All-Star and captured the 2005 American League Cy Young Award with the Angels.

Another baseball season, another six months of Colon serving as an innings eater for a desperate club. The big-bodied veteran continued a four-year downward trend in K/9 (5.0) while posting a 5.00-plus ERA and 1.76-plus HR/9 for the second straight year. Colon’s BB/9 has climbed above 2.00 just once in the past seven years, but the fact that he lives around the strike zone with little whiff-generating ability left at age 45 should lead prospective fantasy owners to stay away unless circumstances are dire, even if he lands with a National League club. The most exciting parts of Colon’s game are his GIF-worthy at-bats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hopes to retire with Mets
Colon hopes to play one more year in MLB and retire with the Mets, Hector Gomez of Deportivo Z 101 reports.
ANALYSIS
The 47-year-old righty last pitched in the majors in 2018, logging a 5.78 ERA in 146.1 innings with the Rangers. It's possible he could sign a one-day deal to retire with the Mets or perhaps get a minor-league deal with an invite to big-league camp, but anything beyond that seems unrealistic at this stage of Colon's career.
