Wed Aug 16 201722:08RHP Jered Weaver announced retirement Wednesday morning
RHP Jered Weaver announced his retirement Wednesday morning. Weaver, 34, was 0-5 with a 7.44 ERA in nine starts with the Padres this season after going 150-93 in 11 seasons with the Angels. Weaver had been on the Padres' disabled list since May 19. "He's busted it hard trying to get back," Padres manager Andy Green said. "But over the last year and a half he hasn't felt very good physically. To me, he's the consummate professional and an unbelievable teammate. Guys love him in this clubhouse and respect him immensely. He had an unbelievably great career in the major leagues and for the brief time he was around here, he was a blast to have. He was a positive influence on guys. I will always think highly of him. He gave it everything he had and didn't have much left. His hip bothers him when he throws. He can't get all the way through (his delivery). It'd be impossible to point out every given thing he's gone through to get out there and pitch ... and he wanted to pitch well for us this year. His stuff wasn't what it once was. He didn't have much left from a physical regard."
