Former MLB Star Trey Mancini Announces Retirement After Brief Angels Stint

Trey Mancini, 34, used his Instagram account to announce his retirement, thanking baseball after a brief five-game tenure with the Los Angeles Angels. He joined the Angels on a minor-league deal in February that included a major-league spring-training invitation, and posted a.273 average with six home runs for Triple-A Salt Lake this year. His last MLB appearance came on June 14, and he was designated for assignment three days later.

Mancini highlighted his ten-year stretch with the Baltimore Orioles, a 2022 World Series championship with the Houston Astros, and a 2023 stint with the Chicago Cubs, while also expressing gratitude to the Reds, Marlins and Diamondbacks organizations. Over his career he compiled a.263 average, 129 home runs and 404 RBIs, including a career-high 29 homers in 2019. He previously missed the 2020 season for colon-cancer surgery and returned to win AL Comeback Player of the Year in 2021. His retirement closes a notable journey of a cancer survivor who achieved major-league success.
