The former New York Mets right hander has officially retired.
“This is Rick Porcello. I want to tell all the listeners I’m retired. Thank you for all the great memories, and thanks for everything ... “There was a lot of personal stuff I probably don’t want to get into, but I think the bottom line was that I was very fortunate to have the years I had in the big leagues.
I think Covid lent some perspective on my life. I wanted to be with my family. I wanted to get back into that type of lifestyle and be around them because every year that you’re gone is another year where your parents are getting older, and your brothers are getting older. I think Covid impacts a lot of people like that.”
