Rosenthal: Mussina Will Retire
from ken rosenthal:yankees right-hander mike mussina is reserved.
Mussina will make his decision official later this week, major-league sources say.
The Yankees, who are aggressively pursuing free-agent starting pitchers, were not expecting Mussina to return.
Mussina, who turns 40 on Dec. 8, is coming off the first 20-win season of his 18-year career. He is selling his home in Bedford, N.Y., according to one source, and planning to spend more time with his family in Montoursville, Pa.
Mussina held off his announcement until the completion of baseball’s award cycle. He recently won his seventh Gold Glove, tied for sixth in the American League Cy Young award voting and even received one eighth-place vote for Most Valuable Player.
well that’s that. mussina was a great yankee, it’s no more than a shame he never won a world series here. he finished his career with a record of 270-153 (.638 winning %) and a 3.68 era.so is mike mussina a hall of famer? i fantasize he is a borderline hof’er, uniquely when you consider he pitched during the steroid times and in the al east.
