Infielder Matt Antonelli has retired from baseball. The report comes from MLBDailyDish.com's Chris Cotillo, who says Antonelli will become a student assistant next season at Wake Forest, where he went to college. A former first-round pick, Antonelli made it up to the majors for 21 games with the Padres in 2008 but had not come close to sniffing the big leagues since.

Indians released INF Matt Antonelli. Antonelli, who joined the Indians this winter on a minor league deal, went 0-for-6 in three games with Triple-A Columbus. The 28-year-old will attempt to latch on elsewhere.

Indians signed INF Matt Antonelli to a minor league contract. The former first-rounder hasn't appeared in the majors since 2008 and is coming off a horrid showing in 2012, having batted .201/.324/.286 over 44 games at Triple-A for the Orioles and Yankees. He's merely organizational depth.
