OVERHEARD

 

Is Nomar retiring because he can't find a job or because he doesn't want to play anymore? Sad to see his career fall off because of injuries/PEDs.

Jason, I believe there is no question Nomar would still be playing if his services were still in demand. The many physical breakdowns, for whatever reason, have left him at best a part-time player, and while there has been no official retirement announcement yet, it would not surprise me in the least if he walked away.
