MLB: Five Players Nearing the End of Their Careers
By Kit Anderson
Bartolo Colon is a fun player to watch. He is probably the most clumsily athletic player that you can watch on a major league field. He has brought a great veteran presence to the Mets and seems to help keep the clubhouse atmosphere what it should be.
He is a free agent at the end of this season as the 43-year-old will be looking for a new team. If he decides to come back another season there is little doubt he will find a short-term job. The problem for Colon will be how much longer before his age inevitably catches up with him?
Colon has had a nice career and could soon decide to call it quits. An interesting question will be how will the current Mets pitcher be remembered? As the ace who got caught using PEDs, or the lovable veteran pitcher he has been with the New York Mets?
Regardless, he has had a nice career and one that will likely soon be coming to a close. Enjoy watching Bartolo Colon while you can, Mets fans, as with the pitching that they are projected to have next year it is doubtful we see Colon return to their rotation.
