Kyle Hendricks, a key part of the Chicago Cubs’ 2016 World Series championship team, is set to retire after a 12-year major league career, multiple media outlets reported Monday.
The 35-year-old right-hander spent his first 11 seasons with the Cubs before pitching for his hometown Los Angeles Angels in 2025. He went 8-10 with a 4.76 ERA in 31 starts this year, striking out 114 and walking 43 in 164 2/3 innings.
In 307 career regular-season games (301 starts), Hendricks compiled a 105-91 record with a 3.79 ERA.
Hendricks will be remembered in Chicago for his 2016 performance, when he went 16-8 with a National League-leading 2.13 ERA in 31 regular-season games (30 starts). He finished third in NL Cy Young Award voting that year.
In the 2016 postseason, he went 1-1 with a 1.42 ERA, fannin
