Kipnis announced Monday via his personal Twitter account that he has retired from professional baseball.
The 35-year-old Kipnis last played in 2021, when he was a member of the Atlanta organization. He played exclusively at the Triple-A level that season and hasn't surfaced in the majors since 2020, when he saw action in 44 games for the Cubs. Over his 10 total seasons in the big leagues -- nine of which came as a member of Cleveland -- Kipnis was named an All-Star twice, and he slashed .260/.333/.416 with 126 homers and 136 stolen bases over 1,165 career plate appearances.
