Dillon Gee calls it a career

Dillon Gee, who won 51 games during an eight-year Major League career with the Mets, Royals, Twins and Rangers, announced his retirement on Instagram on Monday.
"Thank you to the game for the places I've been and the friendships I've gained over the past 11 years!!" Gee wrote.

A 21st-round Draft pick out of the University of Texas-Arlington in 2007, Gee recovered from several arm injuries in the Minors to make his MLB debut for the Mets a little more than three years later, on Sept. 7, 2010, defeating the Nationals with seven innings of two-hit ball. He went on to post a 40-37 record with a 4.03 ERA in parts of six seasons with New York.
Gee's last start with the Mets came on June 14, 2015, when he allowed eight runs in 3 2/3 innings to the Braves in a game New York would rally to win, 10-8. The next day, Gee was designated for assignment and, two weeks later, replaced in the rotation by Steven Matz, then the Mets' top prospect.
