Dontrelle Willis, who hoped to make one more bid at a comeback, has decided to retire.

Willis was in camp with the Milwaukee Brewers this spring.

The left-hander spent the past few days discussing his options with family and reached a decision to hang up his spikes at 33.

"He just said the physical part of it, coming in and trying to get out there on the field, has worn on him," Ron Roenicke said. "He may slide in [Saturday] morning to say bye to the guys, but he's been thinking about this for a few days and struggling with what he wants to do. He still wants to compete, but he knows physically that he's having a tough time getting out there."
