5 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann shot down the idea of retiring after this season. He stated the following on the matter: "Yeah, I thought about retiring a few years ago, but coming into spring training this year, I felt really good. I haven’t had any issues. I still have the drive and I still love the game. I am not thinking about retirement now.” Zimmerman's future in Detroit beyond this season is up in the air. He is entering the final season of his five-year, $110 million deal and has struggled during the past three seasons. He allowed an MLB-high 108 earned runs in 2017. In 2019, he did not show much improvement, recording a career-high 6.91 ERA. Once the season begins, he will remain a regular starter, and as a result he should have plenty of opportunities to bounce back. Nevertheless, a comeback campaign appears unlikely. Even in deep mixed leagues, you can likely find better late-round fliers with more upside.--Jakob Ashlin
