Brett Nicholas

@MonsterJam @CWStadium @MonsterJam anywhere to watch this live on tv or pay-per-view?

Opening ceremonies are underway at @CWStadium! #MonsterJam #MJWFXXI

May 4th, 2019 was my last professional baseball game. When you know, you know. I called rach_nicholas from the locker room between innings, in tears, telling her I was done. I didn’t know… instagram.com/p/CDSwDxuAHIB/…

#Mizzou produced 4️⃣1️⃣ MLB draft picks this past decade❗️ Who will be the next Tigers to make the leap 👀 #MizzouMade 🐯⚾️

@RealChrisRoland Come to me if you have any commercial needs in AZ haha.

Turning Brett Nicholas, Arizona Realtor, and DDS Rule 5 Astros steal, into Corey Kluber, Texas Ranger is Art.

@madfriars Considering he’s a commercial real estate agent now, I’m going to say they aren’t interested.

No word on whether Brett Nicholas will be headed back to the Rangers.

@ForeGunner @lonestarball Just won’t go away!

@lonestarball The legend of Brett Nicholas lives on

The deal is official. Clase and DeShields for Kluber. If you are a Rangers fan who wants to complain about this move, seek medical help. lonestarball.com/2019/12/15/210…

@Evan_P_Grant That’s how you play above your ability right there. Haha

Never thought Brett Nicholas would bring back a Cy Young winner, but he did.

@2018Fathead @eduardobz @Buster_ESPN @Padres Not a bad exchange huh?!?

Emmanuel Clase, the reliever acquired by Cleveland in the Corey Kluber trade, has a big arm—average fastball 99.3 mph last season. Two teams have already reached out to CLE to ask about his availability.

@TepidP @JaredSandler @Evan_P_Grant @Sullivan_Ranger for being a retired guy, I just keep on giving! Nicholas➡️Clase➡️Kluber.... Nicholas=Kluber. #mathaddsup #Rangers

@Evan_P_Grant @ThreeTwoEephus A lot of really good managers and men in the Rangers Minor Leagues. Replacement will undoubtably be a good one!

@bnicholas15 @ThreeTwoEephus Can’t disagree, Brett. I don’t think this is as much about Jason as it is about maybe moving some others up and bringing some guys in at lower levels.

@ThreeTwoEephus @Evan_P_Grant We know that the business of baseball will always have change but Jason Wood is one of the greatest managers out there. Tremendous communicator and even better person. #toughjob #playersmanager

@trripleplay Honored to be a part of the list!

14 Tim Jamieson players who made the Big Leagues: Max Scherzer Ian Kinsler Kyle Gibson Aaron Crow Doug Mathis Rob Zastryzny Nick Tepesch Justin James Ryan Lollis Brett Nicholas Matt Stites Brett Graves Peter Fairbanks Reggie McClain and a 15th, Shaun Marcum

Extra credit to anyone who can name all 14 without having to look it up online

@Sullivan_Ranger You’re welcome! #stillgiving

RHP Emmanuel Clase being called up

@EmilyJonesMcCoy Special night! Thank you Emily, keep dodging those post game Gatorade showers.

@bnicholas15 Congrats Brett! That debut in Seattle was one of my favorites. Enjoy retirement.

I am so thankful to have my son Walker around for part of the ride! It’s been one of the hardest decision of my life but today I step away from the game I love and say I gave it everything I had for 10 f-ing years!!! #everyuniformsincehighschool #grinder #honoredtowearallofthem

@Sullivan_Ranger @Sullivan_Ranger I appreciate that TR, it means a lot!

An all-time favorite

@SeanDeitrick Unfortunately your quest will go on because it wasn’t me.

@bnicholas15 Hey Brett, I've got a very serious internet question to ask you. Were you the anonymous former Ranger who once asked to wear the #69? You're currently on my very short list of suspects, and the world would love to know.

This has been a special time in my life. From two years in extended, to only making 2 of 10 opening day lineups, to 4 out of my last 6 years being an All Star, and becoming a BIG LEAGUER! Baseball has taught me so many life lessons and introduced me to so many incredible people!

@TepidP @TepidP too soon😂. Always enjoyed when we got to chat on the backfields. Always appreciated the positivity you bring to reporting. Means a lot as players in a tough business.

Retiring, not as a dude, not as a minor leaguer, not even as a “professional baseball player”. Brett played in The Show: he’s retiring as a “Major League Baseball Player.” Congrats and best of luck to you and your family, my man. And thanks again for Emmanuel Clase. 😂 Love Ya!

@bnicholas15 Thank you, Brett! Enjoy your next chapter.

@Slack28 Thank you Slacker!

@bnicholas15 Enjoyed getting to play with and call you a friend! Best of luck on what’s next!

@ThreeTwoEephus @ThreeTwoEephus thank you for everything Levi!

One of the all-time good dudes in the game is hanging ‘em up. Made his big-league debut in my first year covering the sport. Here’s hoping that whatever’s next is as fulfilling as baseball, but without all the grind of being a catcher.
