Trey Mancini Retires After 8 MLB Seasons, Says It 'Feels Good' to Have Clarity After Angels Stint

Veteran outfielder Trey Mancini is retiring from MLB.

Mancini, who had last appeared in 2023, signed with the Los Angeles Angels in the offseason. He was released in June after playing in five games.

"I knew after I got DFA'd that unless I somehow got claimed that I was gonna be done, but I wanted to take some time and not retire immediately," he told MASN's Roch Kubatko.

The 34-year-old added he was glad he attempted a comeback, even if it didn't amount to much.

"Now that I had that experience this year, it feels good to officially retire," he said.

Mancini played eight years in MLB, six of which came with the Baltimore Orioles. He had subsequent stints on the Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs, winning the 2022 World Series with Houston.

Mancini missed the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign after being diagnosed with colon cancer. Doctors removed a malignant tumor in March 2020, and he was declared cancer-free that November.

The Orioles had him starting at first base for their 2021 opener.

The right-handed slugger competed in the Home Run Derby that year as well. He reached the finals, losing to New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, and finished with 59 total dingers.

Mancini walks away having compiled a .263/.327/.448 slash line with 129 home runs in 836 appearances.
