Bartolo Colon Not Ready To Retire

By Connor Byrne | January 25, 2020 at 1:05am CDT

Rejoice, baseball fans. The 46-year-old Bartolo Colon isn’t ready to call it a career, Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com recently told MLB Network (video link beginning at the 6:20 mark). The right-hander’s hoping to sign a minor league contract and make his way back to the majors, according to Sanchez, who adds that Colon has offers from teams in Mexico and could consider heading to Japan if nothing materializes elsewhere. Either way, Colon’s focused on pitching in 2020, so the four-time All-Star and one-time Cy Young winner won’t be retiring just yet.

Colon didn’t pitch at all in the majors or minors last season, and he struggled mightily with the Braves, Twins and Rangers from 2017-18. Those factors seem to make it all the more unlikely that Colon will ever get back to the majors again. He has revived his career in the past, however.

Colon’s time in the league appeared to be up until he signed a minor league contract with the Yankees in 2011, leading to a personal renaissance. He wound up throwing 150-plus innings that season and each of the next five with both New York teams and the Athletics, combining for a 3.63 ERA/3.71 FIP with the game’s fourth-lowest walk rate among starters (1.46 per nine).

The fact that Colon went through a rebirth years ago obviously doesn’t mean he’ll enjoy the same fate in 2020 as he nears his 50s. That said, plenty of fans are surely rooting for the aged Colon to re-emerge as a viable MLB pitcher this season.

      His fastball? He throws it 84-92, up, down, on the edges and never straight. If he could add a knuckle ball, it would be hysterical to watch today’s all or nothing hitters walk back to the dugout wondering what just happened.

        @balkmove69 – pitcher wins are by far the dumbest stat in all of professional sports. Why does a single player get a stat for a “win” in a team game when there’s 26 players on the team who all could play a part, as well as managers, umpires, ballparks all factoring in?

        The second relief pitchers were invented they should have ditched that stat. Pitcher W-L has been absolutely worthless this entire time and only has prevented elite pitchers on bad teams from winning awards and going into the HOF. No other reason. 20 wins don’t mean anything, Phil Niekro proved that when he went 21-20 lol

        The W-L stat for pitchers is so unbelievably stupid that a pitcher could throw 35 complete games with 1 run given up, have an ERA of 1.00 and be 0-35. You think that means he’s bad at pitching? His ERA is literally 1.00. Stop holding on to the lies of the past.

      You’re actually right. Looking at his Cy Young year in a vacuum, it looks awful other than the 21 wins, but if you then look at all the rest of the top pitchers that year, it’s pretty amazing how bad of a year it was for all pitchers. If you look at the SPs with 30 or more starts that year, Johan Santana and Kevin Millwod were the only ones with an ERA under 3, and that list has some huge names like Randy Johnson, Zack Greinke , Cliff Lee, Mike Mussina, CC Sabathia, with these guys having mid 3 to mid 4 ERAs. I guess that was just the reality in 2005 – aka one of the final yrs of the Steriod Era.

        Yup, Santana got absolutely hosed that year. He definitely should have 3 Cy Youngs. Just like the Pedro/Zito 2002 debacle. They really need to make awards more stat-based other than “pitcher wins” and “suck up to writers”-based.

        Off topic: does Santana get into the HOF? His career got derailed by that shoulder injury but he still has over 50 WAR and won a Triple Crown. He also probably could have had a 4th Cy in his first year with the Mets too, but the writers got too obsessed with Lincecum, who probably was a little better, but it would not have been as bad a Zito over Pedro. Not even close.

        Johan for the HOF, if Kirby Puckett is in, Johan should be.

      Once again, PED’s are not cheating. They do not help you play baseball better. Period. Ever. ESPN lied to you and you bought into that phony narrative. The NFL and NBA don’t care about 90% of the things that are banned in MLB.

      Strike4, I’m assuming you didn’t play baseball. The common PEDs were amphetamines (greenies) and steroids. Greenies sped up your heart rate and heightened your senses, alertness, aggression, and reaction time. Think of shotgunning 5 Red Bulls at one time. Most guys did greenies; they were super common and unlike steroids, were taken openly (clubhouses often mixed them in their coffee pots).
      …
      Steroid use was much less advertised but if you’ve ever taken batting practice with a guy before and (weeks later) after he’s taken steroids, you’d see the difference with your own eyes. Bat speed and exit velocity are definitely increased. Recovery time for pitchers was lessened and guys could pick up MPG on their velo.
      …
      I was a collegiate player in the 90s and saw and heard all sorts of stories as players advanced through the minors and into the majors. I’m not here to out anyone, but I think us baseball fans need to acknowledge it as part of the history of the game, the sport addressed it as best they could, and move on…

        @dirkg I played semi-pro and college and have been obsessed with the game my entire life. I know all about greenies (speed/meth), and roids. You wasted all those words writing things I already knew. PED’s only helped players who were already good (unlike you) stay healthy and play well.

        “if you’ve ever taken batting practice with a guy before and (weeks later) after he’s taken steroids, you’d see the difference with your own eyes. Bat speed and exit velocity are definitely increased.” – this is an outright lie. Grow up. What a weird troll.

    Who wouldn’t want to see him keep pitching, even if in the minors? He would be a great mentor for the young guys coming up. He doesn’t have to be awesome to serve that purpose.

    Bartolo is great, but my personal favorite “he’s still playing?” guy is LEW FORD!

    He’s 43, has not been in MLB since 2007, but has played 10 straight years with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic league, his slash line last year during his age 42 season was .303/.354/.414 over 322 PA! He was one teammates with the now-62 year old Jesse Orosco!

    True love of the game superstar, as are all these guys in their 40s are….

    Colon throws strikes. Guys know what is coming and sets gets them to miss. Harder time facing batters multiple times with his current velocity and lack of secondary out pitches. I could see him out the bullpen. Everyone else is throwing gas. He would be a different look.

    Colon’s decision is reminiscent of Steve Carlton playing for the White Sox, Indians and Twins at the tail end of his career. He was obviously way past his prime, got hammered on every start, and probably just did it for the money.

    Hang it up, Bartolo. Get a coaching job or something.
