Liam Hendriks Retires After 14 MLB Seasons
The Australian closer and former A's All-Star announced his retirement, closing out a career that included two AL Reliever of the Year awards and a cancer comeback.
Liam Hendriks has officially retired from Major League Baseball after 14 seasons. The right-handed reliever was a two-time AL Reliever of the Year and earned the 2023 AL Comeback Player of the Year award after battling non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Hendriks was also nominated for the Roberto Clemente Award seven times, reflecting his off-field impact. His retirement removes a veteran late-inning arm from the free-agent market.
