Todd Jones wrote in his Sporting News column this week that he'll retire at season's end.
Jones hasn't pitched since Aug. 15 because of a sore shoulder. The 40-year-old right-hander ends 2008 with a 4.97 ERA, but he still converted 18 of his 21 save chances. He picked up 319 saves in all during his 16 years, ranking him 14th all-time. After saving a total of three games in a three-year span from 2002-04, he reemerged with the best year of his career with the Marlins in 2005 (2.10 ERA, 40 saves). 42 percent of his lifetime saves (133 total) came after he turned 37.
