Overview
- Pressly, 37, ends his career with 117 saves, a 3.33 ERA and 667 appearances across the Twins, Astros and Cubs.
- He secured the final out of the 2022 World Series for Houston and finished that postseason 6-for-6 in save chances, part of a 2.78 ERA and 14 saves in 47 playoff games that rank fifth all time.
- Drafted by the Red Sox in 2007, he reached the majors after a 2012 Rule 5 selection by the Twins, was traded to Houston in 2018 and later finished with Chicago.
- His late-career role shifted after the Astros signed Josh Hader before 2024, leading to a waived no-trade clause and a deal to the Cubs, followed by 2025 struggles and an August release.
- In his statement, he called the decision “bittersweet” and said he is fired up for the next chapter with his family, thanking Houston as his family’s “forever home.”
