May 14, 2025 9:33 AM : Carpenter announced his retirement from professional baseball Wednesday in an appearance on Sports Spectrum's "Get in the Game" podcast.
Analysis: Carpenter languished at the plate near the end of his 14-year MLB career, but the 39-year-old had a stretch from 2012 through 2018 in which he batted .275/.377/.471, made three All-Star teams and finished in the top-12 in National League MVP voting three times. He spent 12 of those 14 seasons in St. Louis and won his lone Silver Slugger Award with the Cardinals in 2013.
