Jake Westbrook has announced his retirement from baseball. Westbrook, 36, made the decision after failing to draw much interest over the winter. "The interest that I was getting wasn't significant enough for me to go through the grind of another year and be away from my family," Westbrook said. "I was kind of 50-50 on whether I wanted to play anyway. I'm good with the decision." The sinkerballer finishes his career with a 105-103 record and 4.32 ERA across parts of 13 seasons. He'll now be able to spend more time with his wife and four children.
