Mark Buehrle: Not throwing during offseason
Mark Buehrle isn't ready to announce his retirement but also hasn't been throwing, MLB Network's Jon Heyman reports.Buehrle was expected to retire after the 2015 season, but he never made the move official. Now a free agent, he may be eyeing one final season, which wouldn't necessarily begin in April. It still seems more likely that the 36-year-old lefty will decide to retire.

Blue Jays' Mark Buehrle expected to retire after Sunday's start
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Mark Buehrle will start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Tampa Bay Rays and is expected to announce his retirement from baseball shortly thereafter, Bruce Levine of 670 The Score reports. David Price was initially on track to start Sunday's game, but the Blue Jays will give Buehrle the nod in what amounts to a curtain call for his excellent 16-year career. Per Levine's report, Buehrle is only expected to pitch two innings to reach 200 for the season, the 15th consecutive campaign in which he'll have reached that mark. Despite his respectable 3.82 ERA and 1.21 WHIP on the season, Buehrle is expected to be left off the Jays' postseason roster, as the team is likely to go with a four-man rotation. Buehrle's low-to-mid-80s fastball velocity wouldn't make him particularly useful in a relief role.

Blue Jays SP Mark Buehrle picks up win over Rays
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Mark Buehrle allowed four runs on six hits, walking one and striking out three over 6 2/3 innings of an 8-4 win against Tampa Bay on Friday night.Buehrle (15-7, 3.82 ERA) was fairly effective other than a four-run fourth inning punctuated by a three-run homer off the bat of Mikie Mahtook. However, his command was spotty throughout. While he walked just one, he hit three batters, and needed 103 pitches (just 62 for strikes) to cover the 6.2 innings. Most notably, Buehrle stands two innings short of reaching 200 innings. It is possible he could make a relief appearance Saturday or Sunday, but without six more outs, he will fall short of 200 innings pitched for the first time since 2001 - an amazing accomplihment!

Blue Jays SP Mark Buehrle goes five, gets no decision vs. Braves
Toronto Blue Jays starter Mark Buehrle gave up two runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings Tuesday against the Braves. He threw just 66 pitches after getting a cortisone shot in his throwing shoulder Sept. 8, so owners were probably fortunate to get five innings out of Buehrle on Tuesday. The veteran lefty will make his next start Sunday against the Red Sox and lines up to make two more starts after that before the conclusion of the regular season.

Blue Jays SP Mark Buehrle rolls Sunday to 14th victory
Toronto Blue Jays veteran starter Mark Buehrle didn't need to be great Sunday against Detroit. His team's torrid offense made sure of that. But Buehrle was excellent anyway in raising his record to 14-6. He gave up just one earned run on five hits in six innings with two walks and two strikeouts. The Tigers were held to no RBI hits - only groundouts scored their runs against him. Buehrle, who already has more wins than in any season since 2008, has won five of his last six decisions.
