Andrelton Simmons News
Shortstop Andrelton Simmons officially announced his retirement from professional baseball on Thursday. Simmons wraps up a lengthy MLB career after spending 11 seasons with the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels, Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs. The 34-year-old last played in the majors with the Cubs in 2022, when he went 13-for-75 (.173) with no home runs, seven RBI and four steals in 34 games. The four-time Gold Glover began his career in 2012 with the Braves and spent the first four seasons of his career in Atlanta. Simmons was mostly a glove-first player and didn't have much power at the position, never reaching the 20-homer plateau. He finishes his 11-year career with a .263/.312/.366 slash line, 70 home runs, 444 RBI and 72 stolen bases in 1,225 regular season games.
Chicago Cubs shortstop Andrelton Simmons was granted his unconditional release on Sunday after being designated for assignment on Saturday. The 32-year-old could never really get going this year, posting an ugly .177/.244/.187 batting line to go along with seven RBI and four stolen bases over 75 at-bats with the Cubbies. There's a chance another club signs him down the stretch but he doesn't offer any fantasy value at this stage of his career.
Chicago Cubs shortstop Andrelton Simmons (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list on Saturday and then designated for assignment. Simmons, always a standout with his leather at the 6, was hitting just .173/.244/.187 with no home runs, seven RBI, eight runs scored and four stolen bases in 85 plate appearances over 34 games for the Cubbies before his injury. The 31-year-old had been on the injured list since July 11. If he's not claimed off waivers by another club, Chicago can return him to their organization in the minor leagues. The Cubs will move forward with youngster Nico Hoerner at the position. Even if Simmons latches on with another team and is on the major league roster, he's miles away from fantasy relevance.
