Trey Mancini has announced he will retire from baseball as a Baltimore Oriole, signing a one-day contract to retire with the team and being honored in a pregame ceremony at Oriole Park on September 19 before a game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 34-year-old first baseman and outfielder spent his early career with the Orioles, overcoming a Stage 3 colon cancer in 2020 and earning AL Comeback Player of the Year in 2021 after returning to contribute to the Orioles. His professional journey also includes a World Series title with the Houston Astros in 2022 and stints with the Cubs and Angels, with a notable 2019 season in which he hit 35 homers for Baltimore. Orioles celebrations for Mancini include a limited-edition hat featuring the F16HT logo and proceeds supporting cancer-related charities and his foundation.

The announcements underscore Mancini’s enduring impact as a resilient leader and fan favorite in Baltimore and beyond.
