Former New York Yankees pitcher Chad Green recently confirmed his retirement in an interview with Randy Olson of AreaSports.net.
"I officially just called it quits in April, early April," Green said. "I was still throwing and stuff once I got designated last year. I was still kind of working out and throwing and getting ready just in case an offer was worth it and something that I could leave and go do. But nothing really materialized… I really only called it quits in April."
