Fantasy Impact

In true Joe Kelly fashion, he is not calling it a "retirement" but a "no longer playing" after last pitching in 2024 with the Dodgers. The three-time World Series champion had a successful career, going 54-38 with a 3.96 ERA over 839 innings. Kelly, a third-round pick by the Cardinals in 2009, was particularly successful in his three Fall Classic appearances posting a 2.03 ERA with 19 strikeouts over 13.1 innings. He won rings with the Red Sox in 2018 and twice with the Dodgers in 2020 and 2024.
