Garciaparra not ready to retire 02.04.10 at 6:11 pm ET
By Rob Bradford

WEEI.com’s Lou Merloni reports that after talking to Nomar Garciaparra, the former Red Sox shortstop is intent on playing in the majors for the 2010 season if the right situation presents itself. Garciaparra said his calf, which has been hindering the 36-year-old for the past few years, feels better now that has in quite some time.

Garciaparra has talked to a few major leagues teams, but is holding out for the right situation. He also has had conversations about potentially doing work with the MLB Network. Garciaparra played in 65 games with Oakland last season, hitting .281 with three homers.

The San Francisco Chronicle recently reported that Garciaparra was “widely expected to retire.”

    C’mon Red Sox, a minor league contract and a decent bat off the bench for cheap. BRING HIM BACK!

  2. sportsoverdose Says:

    you’re being sarcastic right?

  3. Matt C Says:

    What’s “the right situation?” He should have retired 5 years ago like Mia.

  4. mascmen7 Says:

    Nomar will refuse to pinch hit when game is online. Prefer minor leaguers to his primma donna attitudes.

  5. RoBoston Says:

    Nomar is better than a lot of dead wood out there. Wish Lou Merloni were still playing-he’s better now than Jed (Mendoza Line) Lowrie or Lars (the Bridge to Nowhere) Anderson.

  6. tressa Says:

    And I thought it would work in Oakland. God I was wrong.

  7. NomahNomore Says:

    Enough of the thought about bringing Nomar back. Their roster is full of capable players. Why should the Sox brass consider signing a player who sulked and quit on the franchise at various times during his tenure?

  8. CeeJay Says:

    It’s cute how Nomie tells his BFF his innermost secrets. I wonder if Utility Lou was giving him a massage when he asked Nomie the question?

  9. John S Says:

    Hey, Lou is like a free publicist for Nomar. So Nomar doesn’t have to talk directly to any media, and Lou gets to latch on and feel important as the Voice Of Nomar. They both win.

  10. Mike Says:

    Ceejay,

    Is this a fantasy of yours? Maybe it is time to see somone on a professional level to work out these feelings you have but please don’t use this medium as a way to express them. Best of luck to you

  11. Jeff Adams Says:

    Bring Nomar Back
