There is a lot of chatter this morning that Billy Wagner is going to retire based on an article in the N.Y. Post. His answers were not an all-out commitment to retirement so there is a chance he will be playing baseball next year. His agent thinks he will be back:
“That’s not what Billy has told me or indicated to me about next year. That’s not to say that he couldn’t, but he’s given me no indication that he will retire. Certainly I am moving towards him playing next year.”
The Red Sox hope he will be back so they can offer him arbitration and if he goes elsewhere they will get some draft picks. If he retires they get nothing. Last month he said he had not made up his mind and he was going to talk to his wife about 2010.
