In an article i read on MLB.com from Bryan Hoch
Jorge Posada, who won five World Series rings with the Yankees and promises to be an interesting case for baseball's Hall of Fame, intends to announce his retirement.
WFAN radio in New York was the first to report that the 40-year-old Posada had reached a decision, citing an anonymous source who said that an announcement will be made within the next two weeks.
A fiery presence in the Yankees' clubhouse during a 17-year career, the switch-hitting Posada caught 1,574 games for New York. Only Bill Dickey (1,708) and Yogi Berra (1,695) spent more time behind the plate wearing pinstripes.
