Tim Anderson retires after a decade in MLB

Tim Anderson has announced his retirement after 10 MLB seasons, citing persistent pain and anxiety from injuries that hindered his ability to compete, despite loving the game. The former White Sox shortstop peaked from 2019–2022 with a batting title, Silver Slugger and two All-Star selections, and went 16-for-33 in the postseason. He hasn’t played since being released by the Angels in 2025 after a prior stint with the Marlins, and suggests he may remain connected to the White Sox through community outreach and a Sept. 17 first-pitch ceremony to honor his career.

Iowa's Field of Dreams game in jeopardy for 2024.

The 2024 Field of Dreams game between the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals is expected to be played at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, instead of at the Field of Dreams site in Dyersville, Iowa. Ongoing construction at the Dyersville site doesn't allow for an MLB game to be played this summer. Go the Distance Baseball LLC, which bought the property in 2021, are working on an $80 million expansion there that includes nine new baseball fields, dormitories for youth teams, and a hotel to be completed in phases by the end of 2023. Previously, a spokesperson for Major League Baseball said they had not committed to returning in 2024.
