Oberg dealt with blood clots throughout the course of his career and ultimately decided that he could not continue his career anymore.

However, the thirty-two-year-old has been a very strong presence in the clubhouse for the Rockies' pitching staff and, as a result, he has accepted a part-time position with the team.

Oberg ends his five-year major league career with a solid 3.85 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 234 strikeouts over 257.1 innings of work.

Happy retirement to Oberg and best of luck to him in this next step of his career.
