UPDATE: Foulke retired after feeling some elbow pain this spring.
Word via a Cleveland radio station is that closer candidate Keith Foulke will announce his retirement today. He was the favorite to pitch the ninth inning, but now it will go to Joe Borowski.
The move is quite a surprise; perhaps he uncovered a serious injury. He’ll abandon a $5MM salary. Foulke is 34; he’s got a 3.30 career ERA in 755 innings.
