Daniel Hudson Retires After Dodgers' World Series Win

Dominic Leone, a right-handed pitcher who played 11 years in Major League Baseball, has officially announced his retirement, reflecting on the significant impact baseball has had on his life. Leone began his career with the Mariners in 2014 and had stints with several teams, concluding with the Chicago White Sox in 2024, finishing with a career record of 22-25 and a 3.94 ERA. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated their World Series victory over the New York Yankees, marking the retirements of pitcher Daniel Hudson and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier. Hudson, 37, returned for the 2024 season intending to retire on a high note, having battled numerous injuries throughout his career. Kiermaier, who also announced his retirement, was traded to the Dodgers mid-season and expressed pride in being part of a winning team despite knowing it would be his last year. Both players left a lasting legacy in the league, with Hudson's career spanning back to 2009 and Kiermaier being a four-time Gold Glove Award winner.
