BALTIMORE -- The Rangers announced that Jim Sundberg will retire at the end of the season. Sundberg has been serving in the Rangers front office since 2004 and as senior executive vice president since October of 2008.

In all, Sundberg has spent over 30 years with the Rangers as a player, executive, broadcaster and Minor League instructor. He is a charter member of the Rangers Hall of Fame after winning six Gold Gloves as a catcher while in Texas.

"While I am stepping away from a full-time role, I look forward to continuing my long association with the Texas Rangers organization," said Sundberg. "Being involved in the community has always held a special place for me, and I will remain involved in that capacity."

Sundberg spent 16 seasons in the Major Leagues with the Rangers, Brewers, Royals and Cubs. He was a three-time All-Star and won a World Series as the Royals starting catcher in 1985. He retired after the 1989 season and spent six years as a Rangers broadcaster. He returned to the Rangers as a Minor League instructor in 2002 before joining the front office two years later.

On his sports segment last night Hansen asked Jon Daniels if he had run off Sundberg to. Daniels said something like "Come on Dale".
