Blevins announced via his personal Twitter account Tuesday that he has elected to retire from professional baseball.

EDGE Analysis

The 37-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the Mets this offseason and was reassigned to minor-league camp at the end of spring training, and he's now opted to call it a career. Blevins posted a 3.54 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 495.1 innings over 13 seasons in the big leagues with the Athletics, Mets, Braves and Nationals.

Blevins was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Blevins served as a non-roster invitee during camp and posted a 3.18 ERA and 1.94 WHIP in 5.2 innings while appearing in six spring games. While the southpaw will begin the 2021 season in the minors, he should be an option to fill in if the team's relief pitchers deal with injuries this year.

Blevins signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Friday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blevins was released by the Giants in April, but he'll land a minor-league deal with the Mets heading into 2021. While it's not yet clear whether the deal includes an invitation to spring training, the 37-year-old will likely have the chance to compete for a major-league roster spot next season. Blevins spent four seasons with the Mets before posting a 3.90 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 32.1 innings with Atlanta in 2019.

Blevins was released by the Giants in March, Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

In camp as a non-roster invitee, Blevins gave up nine earned runs in 3.2 innings this spring, which sealed his fate. The 36-year-old southpaw had a 3.90 ERA in 32.1 innings for the Braves last year, but his FIP has been north of 4.60 in each of the last two seasons.

Blevins signed a minor-league contract with San Francisco on Monday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blevins posted a 3.90 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with a 37:16 K:BB over 32.1 frames last season with the Braves out of the bullpen, registering 10 holds and a save over that span. He'll get a chance to win a roster spot in San Francisco with a strong showing in spring training.

Blevins struck out the only batter he faced to record his first save in a 6-4 win over the Mets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After using Shane Greene in the eighth inning, the Braves turned to Blevins to relieve Mark Melancon with two outs in the ninth frame and the bases loaded. Blevins struck out Michael Conforto to nail down his first save. Lefties continue to struggle with Blevins, hitting .150 against him. The 35-year-old has a 3.33 ERA in 33 appearances this season.

Blevins allowed a run on one hit and two walks over two innings of relief in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old more typically gets used as a LOOGY -- Tuesday's outing was his longest of the year -- but Blevins hadn't pitched since July 2 and was plenty rested, and he helped save the rest of the bullpen in a 13-1 rout. He now has a 4.15 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB through 17.1 mostly low-leverage innings this season.

Blevins' contract was selected by the Braves on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Blevins was designated for assignment Tuesday, but he'll head right back to the active roster following Jonny Venters' release. Blevins will have to improve on his 10.80 ERA over six appearances if he's to stick around on the roster this time around.

Blevins was designated for assignment by the Braves on Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blevins was added to the 40-man roster at the end of April, but he'll head to the waiver wire after getting shelled for four runs over one inning in his last appearance April 7 against the Dodgers. Jesse Biddle (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list and Wes Parsons was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett in corresponding moves.

Blevins' contract was selected by the Braves on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Blevins failed to break camp with the Athletics but will head straight to the Braves' big-league roster after being acquired for cash or a player to be named later Sunday. Wes Parsons was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move, with Arodys Vizcaino (shoulder) transferred to the 60-day injured list to clear a spot on the 40-man roster.
