Trevor Hoffman, the all time saves leader, has decided to retire at 43 years old after and 18 year career. He told Barry Bloom of MLB.com "It's time to retire, It's time to move on. This is more of a self-evaluation. I expect to pitch at a certain level and I had to be honest with myself that I wasn't certain I could maintain that anymore."
Hoffman had a tremendous career posting 601 career saves, a 2.87 ERA and 1133 strikeouts in 1089 1/3 innings while playing for the Marlins, Padres and Brewers. Hoffman will not be leaving the game altogether as he will be working in San Diego's front office.
