I heard on local radio here that HIS AGENT said he was retiring but his family memebers stated it is NOT true....That he just won't be there for the begining of th season.
I am trying to find SOMETHING to confirm what was said. He is something PARTIALLY confirming he will not start the begining of the season. but no mention of retirement.

His doctor said he doesn't have the stamina yet to go back at this time, but he's hoping sometime during the season he'll be able to,'' she said from their Baldwin home.
