He told Costas that he's thinking of hanging it up at the end of his contract. I guess the NY atmosphere is really getting to him. It's a shame because when he retires he could be pretty close to 600 HR.

Of course, he's probably talking out of his ass but who knows. If it still isn't fun at that point and he's made plenty of money then what is the point of continuing? |

Talk is cheap. David Wells has retiored a number of times. I'll believe it when it happens.  |

Hopefully he's put away enough for retirement.  |

ZERO chance he retires when his contract is up

I dunno, TAP, it could be a little tight for him. The NY real estate market is pretty expensive, you know...

'Tis indeed. Median list price in NYC this week is $449,950. Of course Alex could always retire in Miami, the city where he grew up, where the median list price this week is only $350,000.
BTW, the median list price in Phoenix this week is only $314,900.

I am beyond jealous. I can only dream about affordable housing out here.
