Bartolo Colon announced prior to Saturday's Mets Old Timers Game at Citi Field that he plans to retire from professional baseball following one more winter league season.

"God willing, I would like to pitch a couple of games [with Aguilas Cibaenas of the Dominican Winter League] so I can say goodbye to the game of baseball and to all those Dominican fans, because they deserve it," Colon told Spanish radio broadcaster Johnny Trujillo.

Colon, 49, is a veteran of 21 Major League seasons, pitching from 1997-2018.
