Former Angels ace Jered Weaver retires

Jered Weaver, who spent most of his 12 big league seasons as the Angels ace, announced his retirement on Wednesday after an unsuccessful attempt to return to form with the San Diego Padres.
“While I’ve been working hard to get back on the mound, my body just will not allow me to compete like I want to,” Weaver said in a statement released by the Padres.
Weaver, 34, posted a 7.44 ERA in nine starts with the Padres, who signed him to a one-year, $3-million deal just before spring
