12-year Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus is calling it quits after 15 years in the big leagues with Texas, the Oakland A’s, and Chicago White Sox.

Andrus will retire as an active player on Texas Rangers at a press conference at 2:30 PM on Friday at Globe Life Field.

At the press conference, Andrus will be joined by former teammate Michael Young and his manager from 2009-2014 Ron Washington.

Washington who manages the Los Angeles Angels will be in town as Texas opens a four-game set with the Halos on Thursday night.

During his career, Andrus hit .269 with 102 home runs and 775 RBI in 2,059 career games throughout his fifteen seasons.

Even though his final four seasons were spent with Oakland and Chicago respectively, Elvis Andrus will always be known as a Texas Ranger.

The Rangers acquired Andrus from the Braves in 2007 in a trade that sent Mark Teixeira to Atlanta.

Following his call-up in 2009 Andrus was named the Rangers Rookie of the Year after hitting .267 with 40 RBI and 33 stolen bases.

In the following two seasons, Andrus helped lead the Rangers to back-to-back World Series where the Rangers would fall both times.

10 seasons after the World Series runs, Andrus remained a consistent force with Texas and made his name atop a lot of franchise leaderboards.

Andrus is the all-time leader in Texas franchise history with 305 stolen bases, ranks second in games, at-bats (6,366), and triples (48), and is third in runs (893) and hits (1,743).

Prior to the 2021 season the Rangers delt Andrus to the Oakland A’s in a trade that would bring All-Star and World Series catcher Jonah Heim to Texas.

Following his two-year stint with the A’s, Andrus signed with the White Sox and would stick for two seasons after replacing an injured Tim Anderson.

In 2024, Andrus signed a minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks but has not appeared in a big league game this season.
