Elvis Andrus to Officially Retire with Rangers on Friday; Played 15 MLB Seasons

Elvis Andrus will retire as a Texas Ranger.

Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reported that Andrus would "officially retire as an active player" during the Rangers Friday game against the Los Angeles Angels.

Andrus last played for the Chicago White Sox during the 2023 season. He spent 12 of his 15 seasons with the Rangers, the last of which came in 2020. Six of those seasons came with Ron Washington as the team's manager, and Washington will coach against Texas on Friday as the Angel's manager.

Andrus finishes his career with overall slashes of .269/.325/.370. He also hit 102 home runs, had 775 RBIs and finished with 2,048 career hits.

He was a two-time All-Star, with both selections coming when he was with the Rangers, and was a major contributor to the 2010 and 2011 teams that reached the World Series. Both squads would ultimately fall but the franchise would capture its first-ever World Series Championship in 2023.

Andrus will now officially retire with the franchise he saw his greatest success with and fully transition to his post-playing career.
