Also on Sunday, former Red Sox pitcher Matt Barnes announced his retirement in an Instagram post .
He wrote (in part of his message): “When I look back at my baseball career, there isn’t a single thing I would change. I was able to live out not only my dream, but the dream of so many kids who pick up a baseball hoping one day they’ll hear their name called. For that, I’ll be forever grateful. From being drafted by the Red Sox out of UConn in 2011, making my Major League debut in 2014, winning a World Series in Boston, earning an All-Star selection, and finishing my career with the Marlins and Nationals , baseball gave me more than I ever could have imagined.”
