A former member of the Toronto Blue Jays is calling it a career. After 12 years in pro baseball and seven years in the major leagues, 32-year-old reliever Erik Swanson shared the news on Instagram that he's retiring from the sport. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way and to all those who supported me," Swanson said. After a strong 2023 season in Toronto, Swanson struggled for much of the last two years, eventually being designated for assignment in mid-June. Across three seasons with Toronto, he put up a 4.28 ERA in 120 appearances across 111.1 innings.
