MIAMI—Three-time all-star outfielder Curtis Granderson announced his retirement Friday after 16 seasons in the major leagues. Granderson played for seven teams. He was an all-star for the Detroit Tigers in 2009, and for the New York Yankees in 2011 and 2012. In 2007 with Detroit, he became only the third player to collect at least 30 doubles, 20 triples, 20 homers and 20 steals in a season. “As I reflect on my career, I realize that not much has changed since those early days in little league,” Granderson said in a statement.
