Kevin Kiermaier,  CF, Dodgers

Kevin Kiermaier has announced that 2024 will be his last season. Known for his stellar defense and speed, Kiermaier has been a reliable outfielder for over a decade. As the Dodgers gear up for a potential postseason run, he’ll look to finish his career on a high note.

Andrew McCutchen,  DH, Pirates

Andrew McCutchen is back with the Pirates, where he made his name. Still productive, McCutchen has 18 home runs this season. Whether he retires or continues, his impact on the game—especially in Pittsburgh—will be long remembered.

Rich Hill, LHP, Red Sox

At 44, Rich Hill is still going strong, pitching for the Red Sox in his 20th MLB season. While many expect this to be his last year, Hill’s resilience and love for the game have kept him on the mound longer than most thought possible.

Jason Heyward, OF, Astros

Jason Heyward, famous for his rookie homer with the Braves and his leadership during the Cubs’ 2016 World Series win, is now with the Astros. As his career winds down, Heyward remains a valuable player with a legacy that includes one of baseball's greatest moments.

Justin Turner,  1B, Mariners

Justin Turner has been a consistent hitter for over a decade, most notably with the Dodgers. Now with the Mariners, Turner continues to contribute, but at 39, 2024 could be his final season in MLB.

Kyle Hendricks,  RHP, Cubs

The last remaining player from the Cubs’ 2016 championship team, Kyle Hendricks has built a career on control rather than power. As his performance declines, 2024 may be his final year, but he’ll always be a Cubs legend.

Matt Carpenter, DH, Cardinals

Matt Carpenter has returned to the Cardinals, where he became a fan favorite for his plate discipline and power. After a brief stint with the Yankees, he may retire after 2024, bringing his career full circle.

Jesse Chavez,  RHP, Braves

Jesse Chavez has spent 16 seasons as a versatile reliever, pitching for multiple teams. Now 41, Chavez may be nearing the end of his career, but he’ll always be remembered for his adaptability and longevity.

Yuli Gurriel, 1B, Royals

Yuli Gurriel came to MLB late, but he quickly became a key player for the Astros, winning two World Series titles. Now with the Royals, injuries have slowed him down, and 2024 could be his final season.
