Maldy Hangs Up the Mask After 2025

Longtime backstop Martin “Maldy” Maldonado just announced he’ll retire after the 2025 season. While his bat never scared pitchers, Maldy’s glove and leadership—especially during his Angels stint—made him a clubhouse favorite. Remember his 2017 season, when he led MLB in Fielding Run Value? That’s the stuff legends are made of. From LA to Houston and now San Diego, Maldy’s journey is a testament to grit over flash. Anyone else think his Angels-Astros rivalry moments will be missed? #Angels #Maldonado #MLBRetirement #Sports #Baseball
