NY Post: MOOSE MIGHT NOT QUIT
Yankees staff members have heard Mike Mussina say he is retiring. However, Mussina hasn’t officially announced this past season - when he won 20 games for the first time in a borderline Hall of Fame career - was his last.
Mussina, who will be 40 in December, hinted at retirement following his 20th win in Boston on the final day of the season.
Since the Yankees won’t hold organizational meetings until a week or two, they haven’t decided if Mussina - or Andy Pettitte - fits into their 2009 plans.
According to a Yankee official, Mussina wouldn’t surprise anybody if he filed for free agency following the World Series to keep his options open. That way if he doesn’t attract interest from teams fitting his desire - accessible from his Montoursville, Pa., home and with a team that has a chance to win - Mussina can retire.
Well, that doesn’t tell us much of anything, does it?
