HALL OF FAMER SET TO RETIRE
2 time MVP, 2 time Gold Glove winner and 11 time all star Jeffrey Hudson will retire at the end of this season. Veteran readers may remember Jeff as my first big time free agent signing with the Iron Pigs. Inked him to a 6 year 105M dollar deal in 2020. He is a 6 time world champion as well. He will likely have most of the all time records as a 2B when he does retire.
